"

I have lived long enough to understand that I am not the one who lives, but God lives through me. It seems crazy arrogance, but I feel it so sincerely that it is true humility. All my villainy is not my life, it is not me, for me my life is only what is good in it. As little as it is, it exists. And this bit does not belong to me, it belongs to God. All the efforts I can make, all my efforts are only to open my soul for God to come in, to leave room for his work, stifling my impulses.

Romanian

"Am trăit îndeajuns ca să înțeleg că nu eu sunt cel care trăiește, ci Dumnezeu trăiește prin mine. Pare o trufie nebuneasca, dar o simt cu atâta sinceritate încât e smerenie adevărată. Toate ticăloșiile mele nu sunt viața mea, nu sunt eu, pentru mine viața mea este numai ce e bun în ea. Oricât ar fi de puțin, există. Iar acest puțin nu îmi aparține mie, ci este Dumnezeu. Toate eforturile pe care le pot face, toate eforturile mele sunt numai pentru a-mi deschide sufletul ca să intre Dumnezeu, pentru a lăsa spațiu larg lucrării lui, înăbușindu-mi pornirile mele."
