9. "Ever since the beginning of the middle-class era, with its faith in progress, belief in progress has dominated the upbringing of children too. Childhood now came to be understood only as the preliminary stage on the way to the full personhood of the adult… Every lived moment has an eternal significance and already constitutes a fulfilled life. For fulfilled life is not measured by the number of years that have been lived through, or spent in one way or another. It is measured according to the depth of lived experience."

10. "The freedom to talk with God and of God is being opened by God's joy. It cannot be forced.

Being aware of God is an art and--if the term may be permitted--a noble game."
