Doubt is the necessary tool of knowledge.

Forgiving presupposes remembering.

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

Being human means asking the questions of one's own being and living under the impact of the answers given to this question. And, conversely, being human means receiving answers to the questions of one's own being and asking questions under the impact of the answers.

Where there is faith there is an awareness of holiness.

The character of human life, like the character of the human condition, like the character of all life, is "ambiguity": the inseparable mixture of good and evil, the true and false, the creative and destructive forces-both individual and social.

I hope for the day when everyone can speak again of God without embarrassment.
