Impossibility is more possible than everything which we hold to be possible.

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.

Exactly halfway between exegesis and practical theology stands dogmatics.

It is always the case that when the Christian looks back, he is looking at the forgiveness of sins.
