Language corresponds only to itself. Intellectuals suffer from that. And once you begin to question language, you cannot stop at studying linguistics. Analytical philosophy becomes insufficient, artificial grammar becomes insufficient.

As an atheist, you cannot fully make sense of the music, you have no explanation for the perennial motion and rhythm.

Everything direct is positive, everything indirect is negative.

Those who use language and have nothing but language to express themselves live in a cage that cannot feel comfortable.

Once you have awakened to the question of faith, you cannot simply return to your everyday agenda like a committed atheist could. You cannot retreat to the comforts of atheism.

You cannot spend two thousand years trying to understand God and then simply abandon the question and declare that we’re not interested in it anymore.

You cannot simply discard God like a box that has been emptied.
