  • Religion is the most powerful alternative to God.

  • When true forgiveness happens it is one of the most astonishing and liberating of the human experience.

    Richard Holloway (2002). “On Forgiveness: How Can We Forgive the Unforgivable?”, p.12, Canongate Books
  • The institutions that claim to represent God, when they are not ignored altogether, are treated like other human institutions that have to earn their right to a hearing by the value of what they say, and not by virtue of who is saying it. Today, authority has to earn respect by the intrinsic value of what it says, not by the force of its imposition.

    Hearing   Today   Ignored  
    Richard Holloway (2000). “Godless Morality: Keeping Religion Out Of Ethics”, p.31, Canongate Books
  • The wrong question to ask of a myth is whether it is true or false. The right question is whether it is living or dead, whether it still speaks to our condition.

  • God is waiting eagerly to respond with new strength to each little act of self-control, small disciplines of prayer, feeble searching after him. And his children shall be filled if they will only hunger and thirst after what he offers.

  • When a popular phenomenon reaches the cover of 'Time,' it is already out of fashion.

  • There are many strengths in modern society, but one of its weaknesses is the breakdown of many of the old structures and networks that supported people in times of crisis and need. Whenever we lose a strengthening element in society, we need to replace it with alternative systems as quickly as possible. Befriending schemes are a crucial part of this process, because they fill the gap that social erosion has left in the lives of so many vulnerable people.

  • The use of God in moral debate is so problematic as to be almost worthless.

    Use   Moral   Debate  
    Richard Holloway (2008). “Between The Monster And The Saint: Reflections on the Human Condition”, p.203, Canongate Books
  • Meditation on the majestic energyof the universe should increase our love for humanity, should widen, not narrow, our hearts.

  • Simplicity, clarity, singleness: These are the attributes that give our lives power and vividness and joy as they are also the marks of great art. They seem to be the purpose of God for his whole creation.

    "God's Priorities for Your Life for Teens". 2006.
