>Harrach's Wisdom (XIV. suitcase):
On his [...illegible] Harrach met a preacher, who greeted him, 'Brother, the Lord has sent me to show you the way to Salvation...'. ' That is strange, Harrach replied, 'for the Lord has sent me on my way to Wisdom. And behold, our paths are crossing.'
Harrach's Wisdom (LXI. suitcase):We are all stations on God's radio. We all have different tastes in His music.
> Mostly I "see" him through his works. Not just the crash of waves or the majesty of mountains, but the intricacy and complexity of the human brain and the self correcting nature of the world and the mercy and compassion that the human soul is capable of.
>Harrach's Wisdom (XXV. suitcase)
It is not that if God did not exist everything would be permitted, it is that people without conscience will permit themselves anything.
Harrach's Wisdom (I. suitcase):
