The courage to be is rooted in the God who appears when God has disappeared in the anxiety of doubt.

Forgiving presupposes remembering. And it creates a forgetting not in the natural way we forget yesterday's weather, but in the way of the great "in spite of" that says: I forget although I remember. Without this kind of forgetting no human relationship can endure healthily. I don't refer to a solemn act of asking for and offering forgiveness. Such rituals as sometimes occur between parents and children, or friends, or man and wife, are often acts of moral arrogance on the one part and enforced humiliation on the other. But I speak of the lasting willingness to accept him who has hurt us.

Accept the fact that you are accepted, despite the fact that you are unacceptable.

Man is asked to make of himself what he is supposed to become to fulfill his destiny.

Man is not what he believes himself to be in his conscious decisions.
