Out of the element of participation follows the certainty of faith; out of the element of separation follows the doubt in faith. And each is essential for the nature of faith. Sometimes certainty conquers doubt, but it cannot eliminate doubt. The conquered of today may become the conqueror of tomorrow. Sometimes doubt conquers faith, but it still contains faith. Otherwise it would be indifference.

Wine is like the incarnation--it is both divine and human

Doubt is the necessary tool of knowledge.

The courage to be is the courage to accept oneself, in spite of being unacceptable.

God does not exist. He is being-itself beyond essence and existence. Therefore to argue that God exists is to deny him.

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

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