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

It is only true love when you have no choice. Love is the most highly valued disease that is identified by the symptom of You-can´t-help-it.

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

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

Take Bach or Schubert: Their music was dedicated to God but filled and shaped their worldly lives. If you are a committed atheist, you lean back and miss all the richness of that history.

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

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