"Remember that the intelect is the servant of the heart, which is our life; if it leads the heart to truth, peace, joy and life, then it fulfills its detination, it is the truth; but if it leads the heart to doubt, disturbance, torments, despondency, darkness, than it does not fulfill its destination and is absolutely false."

~ St. John of Kronstadt, My Life in Christ
