The whole dimension of religious belief requires transcendence, it requires going beyond what you can establish rationally.

I can't see for the life of me how an attempt to understand the universe, which I believe comes from God, can alienate us from God.

Neither of us can come to either a knowledge of God, or a denial of God by our scientific research.

Science is and should be seen as "completely neutral" on the issue of the theistic or atheistic implications of scientific results.

I have never come to know God, to see God, to believe in God through doing science. He's not the conclusion of some sort of process of my personal scientific investigation.

I think today the church faces a very real challenge in not repeating the errors of the past, in sort of a stand off, a fear of science.

I hope I'm not giving the impression of an ivory tower science, but for me science is an attempt to understand, it's an attempt to understand the universe.

Being a scientist helps to support both my life as a Jesuit and my belief in God.

Nothing we learn about the universe threatens our faith. It only enriches it.

Doing science is not inherently incompatible with religious faith.

People tend not to disassociate the technological issues from pure scientific research, so that science sometimes gets a bad name for things that science doesn't deserve having a bad name for.

Maybe I'll just give up on boys. Okay, maybe not. I mean they're just so cute!

When bad strikes, most likely you will not get an answer when you ask, “Why?” Your strength must come from having faith that someday the answer will come and then it will all make sense.

My so-called faith went up in flames Till I believed in all your lies, For the life of me I don't know why. They got you wrong , You're not that strong. I don't belong here!

Men fear silence as they fear solitude, because both give them a glimpse of the terror of life's nothingness.

Clothes and manners do not make the man; but when he is made, they greatly improve his appearance.

It is very often nothing but our own vanity that deceives us.

I want to spend as much time as possible with my children, so I always like to keep my beauty and fashion routines effortless... but still chic!

Personality is immediately apparent, from birth, and I don't think it really changes.

What you have to get is a ocean of love within your heart and to seek that in others also.

Sins may be forgiven through repentance, but no act of wit will ever justify them.
