"The common thread running through my story is the importance of attention to culture, dialogue, and the power of knowledge and science."
"This is a time when the desire for peace, the stubborn search for a path of peace, should be the primary concern of contemporary culture and society."
"My vision as a man of the church, as a believer, as a Christian, is ultimately a poetic vision and ends up being my way of inhabiting reality."
