These are a collection of quotes that are of interest to Orthodox Christians. These quotes were from two collections—one was from a (now defunct) mailing list in which Steven Mojsovki would occasionally post a quote that other members might like to see; the other source came from a huge effort by Keith Wilkerson to post a daily quote to various Orthodox usenet and discussion groups (of which this is but a small sample).
The quotes come from various sources, including Scripture, patristics, various Orthodox religious and secular writers, and some are from non-Orthodox sources.
From St. Gregory Nazianzus (On God and Christ, Oration 28 sect. 20; St. Vladimir's Seminary Press pg. 52):
"Had Paul been able to express the experiences gained from the third heaven (cf. II Cor. 12:2-4), and his progress, ascent, or assumption to it, we should, perhaps, have more knowledge about God... But since they are ineffable, let them have the tribute of our silence. Let us give this much attention to Paul when he says: "We know in part and we prophesy in part" (I Cor. 13:9). This... is the confession of one who is no mere layman in knowledge... [but] of a great champion and teacher of the truth. Yet he counts all knowledge in this world as nothing more than "puzzling reflections in mirrors (I Cor. 13:12), because it has its basis in small-scale images of reality."
