Alfred Delp Quotes

German priest and philosopher (b. 1907), Death: 2-2-1945
1.

2.
Space is still filled with the noise of destruction and annihilation, the shouts of self-assurance and arrogance, the weeping of despair and helplessness. But round about the horizon the eternal realities stand silent in their age-old longing. There shines on them already the first mild light of the radiant fulfillment to come. From afar sound the first notes as of pipes and voices, not yet discernable as a song or melody. It is all far off still, and only just announced and foretold. But it is happening, today.
Alfred Delp

3.
If there was a little more light and truth in the world through one human being, his life has had meaning.
Alfred Delp

4.
In half an hour, I'll know more than you do.
Alfred Delp
