No act of man can claim to be more than an attempt, not even science.

The term 'laity' is one of the worst in the vocabulary of religion and ought to be banished from the Christian conversation.

The theologian who labors without joy is not a theologian at all. Sulky faces, morose thoughts and boring ways of speaking are intolerable in this field.

No act of man can claim to be more than an attempt, not even science.

Mozart's music is free of all exaggeration, of all sharp breaks and contradictions. The sun shines but does not blind, does not burn or consume. Heaven arches over the earth, but it does not weigh it down, it does not crush or devour it.

Mozart's music always sounds unburdened, effortless, and light. This is why it unburdens, releases, and liberates us.
