Peter Kreeft Quotes

Other religions are stories of man's search for God. The Bible is the story of God's search for man Picture Quote #1
There is no scientific proof that only scientific proofs are good proofs; no way to prove by the scientific method that the scientific method is the only valid method Picture Quote #1
Envy, though not the greatest sin, is the only one that gives the sinner no pleasure at all, not even fake and temporary satisfaction Picture Quote #1
No emotion, merely as an emotion, is a sin, because we cannot directly control the arising of an emotion in our soul Picture Quote #1
We are insane. That is what sin is. Sanctity is identitical with sanity. It means living the truth, living in reality. Sin always substitutes unreality for reality Picture Quote #1
Original sin is the proclivity to say

How you approach the problem of suffering depends on how you approach life itself. There are only two ways. Either meaning is surrounded by matter, or matter is surrounded by meaning Picture Quote #1
Suffering is not blessed because it is suffering but because it is [Christ's]. Suffering is not the context that explains the cross; the cross is the context that explains suffering Picture Quote #1
Christ transforms the meaning and value of suffering from something to be feared or at best endured into something redemptive [and transformative] Picture Quote #1
Since we are [Christ's] body, we too are the bread that is broken for others. Our failures help heal other lives; our very tears help wipe away tears; our being hated helps those we love Picture Quote #1
The womb is like an altar, it's the place where God continually comes into the world and does what only God can do... create Picture Quote #1
I find my data first in myself, not first in the poets. For if I did not find it in myself, I would not be able to find it in the poets Picture Quote #1

All human beings have a right to life. Our unborn children are members of the human race. They're human beings, so they have a right to life Picture Quote #1
The most compelling evidence for God's existence is Christ. If God does not exist, then Christ was the biggest fool who ever lived Picture Quote #1
Our life here on Earth has as its purpose precisely to prepare for our eternal happiness. This world is a large womb. It is a 'test' as all opportunities are tests Picture Quote #1
The deepest healing is the healing of the deepest wound. The deepest wound is the frustration of the deepest need. The deepest need is the need for meaning, purpose, and hope Picture Quote #1
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 Picture Quote #1
God’s interventions are miracles: events that cannot happen by merely natural agents but only by a supernatural agent. They no more interfere with our free will than natural events like earthquakes. We choose how to respond to them Picture Quote #1

Socrates: So even our walks are dangerous here. But you seem to have avoided the most dangerous thing of all. Bertha: What’s that? Socrates: Philosophy. Bertha: Oh, we have philosophers here. Socrates: Where are they? Bertha: In the philosophy department. Socrates: Philosophy is not department. Bertha: Well, we have philosophers. Socrates: Are they dangerous? Bertha: Of course not. Socrates: Then they are not true philosophers Picture Quote #1
I strongly suspect that if we saw all the difference even the tiniest of our prayers make, and all the people those... prayers were destined to affect... we would be so paralyzed with awe... that we would be unable to get up off our knees for the rest of our lives Picture Quote #1
Why would the apostles lie?... Liars always lie for selfish reasons. If they lied, what was their motive, what did they get out of it? What they got out of it was misunderstanding, rejection, persecution, torture, and martyrdom. Hardly a list of perks! Picture Quote #1
We modern egalitarians are tempted to the primal sin of pride in the opposite way from the ancients. The old, aristocratic form of pride was the desire to be better than others. The new, democratic form is the desire not to have anyone better than yourself. It is just as spiritually deadly and does not even carry with it the false pleasure of gloating superiority Picture Quote #1
