Peter Kreeft
Humility is the marriage bond of Heaven. Pride is the frigidity of Hell.
Peter Kreeft
Indifference is more truly the opposite of love than hate is, for we can both love and hate the same person at the same time, but we cannot both love and be indifferent to the same person at the same time.
Peter Kreeft
Indifference is the only road that never gets to God.
Peter Kreeft
The national anthem of hell is, I Did It My Way.
Peter Kreeft
The most total opposite of pleasure is not pain but boredom, for we are willing to risk pain to make a boring life interesting.
