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

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.

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.

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

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.
