There's this quote from Albert Camus that's been kicking my ass for the past three weeks or so, and really communicates many of my sentiments from the past year or so. In my opinion, every seminarian should see it at some time, and it wouldn't be of little use for others, either:

"Too many people climb onto the cross only in order to be seen from a further distance, and in doing so trample the one who was there long before them."
The Fall 114; may be off by a page or five, as may be a few words, as this is off the brain.
