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

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.

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

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

I believe that the most important condition for faith is sensitivity to beauty.

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.

If you cannot live without justification, you cannot live; period. And the path towards it is the path of language.
