- "Into this world, this demented inn, in which there is absolutely no room for him at all, Christ has come uninvited. But because he cannot be at home in it, because he is out of place in it and yet must be in it, his place is with those others for whom there is no room. His place is with those who are discredited, who are denied the status of persons." -Thomas Merton
