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

People who don't pay attention to the question of justification are often rather uninteresting, in my opinion. I am most fascinated by characters who struggle with the demands of justification.

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.

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

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.

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

Everything direct is positive, everything indirect is negative.
