"God is three in one, something that is impossible to explain. [...] For a while I attended Quakers: no sacraments, no formal dogma. There was a prayer room, furnished in the simplest way, and we sat there in a silent circle, seeking the inner light. What I call God and what is in each of us says something to each of us. These are extreme forms of mysticism and spirituality belonging to the Protestant root, but even starting from these positions one still ends up encountering the mystery of faith. A mystery that unites Quaker and Catholic religion, to which I have since converted."
