Faith as ultimate concern is an act of the total personality. It happens in the center of the personal life and includes all its elements. Faith is the most centered act of the human mind. It is not a movement of a special section or a special function of man's total being. They all are united in the act of faith.

We are known in a depth of darkness through which we ourselves do not even dare to look. And at the same time, we are seen in a height of a fullness which surpasses our highest vision.

Only the philosophical question is perennial, not the answers.

The vitality that can stand the abyss of meaninglessness is aware of a hidden meaning within the destruction of meaning.

Decision is a risk rooted in the courage of being free.

Faith consists in being vitally concerned with that ultimate reality to which I give the symbolical name of God. Whoever reflects earnestly on the meaning of life is on the verge of an act of faith.

Sometimes I think it is my mission to bring faith to the faithless, and doubt to the faithful.
