Abba Pimen: “Water by its nature is soft, and a stone is hard; but if a gutter hangs over a stone, then the water, flowing down it in drops onto the stone, little by little breaks through the stone. Likewise, the Word of God is soft, but our heart is hard; but if a person often hears the Word of God, then his heart opens to accept the fear of God.” Source: St. Ignatius Bryanchaninov "Fatherland"
