Quotable Converts
"To become Catholic is not to leave off thinking, but to learn how to think." - G.K. Chesterton
"Most cradle Catholics have gone through, or need to go through, a second conversion which binds them with a more mature love and obedience to the Church." - Dorothy Day
"I have been in perfect peace and contentment; I have never had one doubt. I was not conscious of myself, on my conversion, of any change, intellectual or moral, in my mind. I was not conscious of former faith in the fundamental truths of revelation, or of more self-command; I had not more fervor; but it was like coming into port after a rough sea; and my happiness on that score remains to this day without interruption." - Venerable John Henry Newman
"I have been overwhelmed with the feeling of liberty - the 'glorious liberty of the Sons of God;' it [is] a freedom from the uncertainty of mind; it was not until I became a Catholic that I became conscious of my former homelessness, my exile from the place that was my own." - Ronald Knox
"If you're going to do a thing, you should do it thoroughly. If you're going to be a Christian, you might as well be Catholic." - Muriel Sparks
