1. Simone Weil:

   It is because the will has no power to bring about salvation that the idea of secular morality is an absurdity. What is called morality only depends on the will in what is, so to speak, its most muscular aspect. Religion on the contrary corresponds to desire, and it is desire that saves...To long for God and to renounce all the rest, that alone can save.”

2. Henry Miller, "The Colossus of Maroussi" (1941):

   There is no salvation in becoming adapted to a world which is crazy.

3. Nikos Kazantzakis:

4. Amenorhu kwaku:

   Our greatest salvation comes when we learn to let go and forgive the people in our past.
