From Bonhoeffer's book Ethics, as quoted in the book Bonhoeffer, by Eric Metaxas

"Those who wish even to focus on the problem of Christian ethic are faced with an outrageous demand - from the outset they must give up, as inappropriate to this topic, the very two questions that led them to deal with the ethical problem: 'How can I be good?' and 'How can I do something good?' Instead they must ask the wholly other, completely different question: 'What is the will of God?'
pg 468 of Bonhoeffer by Eric Metaxas


"All things appear as in a distorted mirror if they are not seen and recognized in God."  Dietrich Bonhoeffer
pg 469 of Bonhoeffer by Eric Metaxas
