Love is the infinite which is given to the finite.

Forgiving presupposes remembering.

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

In those who rest on their unshakable faith, pharisaism and fanaticism are the unmistakable symptoms of doubt which has been repressed. Doubt is not overcome by repression but by courage. Courage does not deny that there is doubt, but it takes the doubt into itself as an expression of its own finitude and affirms the content of an ultimate concern. Courage does not need the safety of an unquestionable conviction. It includes the risk without which no creative life is possible.

Parents need to listen as much to their kids as they do to them: "The first duty of love is to listen."

Fear is the absence of faith.

The name of this infinite and inexhaustible depth and ground of all being is God.
