A miracle entails a degree of irrationality-not because it shocks reason, but because it makes no appeal to it.
Emmanuel LevinasWhat could an entirely rational being speak of with another entirely rational being?
Emmanuel LevinasI will say this quite plainly, what truly human is -and don't be afraid of this word- love. And I mean it even with everything that burdens love or, i could say it better, responsibility is actually love, as Pascal said: 'without concupiscence' [without lust]... love exists without worrying being loved.
