“We are all born like Catholics . . . in limbo, without religion.”— Yann Martel Related Quotes “It takes three to make love, not two: you, your spouse, and God. Without God people only succeed in bringing out the worst in one another. Lovers who have nothing else to do but love each other soon find there is nothing else. Without a central loyalty life is unfinished.”— Fulton J. Sheen “Lord, my hands were made for blessing, but not my feet!”— Giovannino Guareschi “[W]hat one has as a born Catholic is something given and accepted before it is experienced. I am only slowly coming to experience things that I have all along accepted. I suppose the fullest writing comes from what has been accepted and experienced both and that I have just not got that far yet all the time. Conviction without experience makes for harshness.”— Flannery O’Connor
