Neurosis is the way of avoiding non-being by avoiding being.

One cannot be strong without love. For love is not an irrelevant emotion; it is the blood of life.

There is faith in every serious doubt, namely, the faith in the truth as such, even if the only truth we can express is our lack of truth.

The separation of faith and love is always a consequence of a deterioration of religion.

Morality [or ethics] is not a subject; it is a life put to the test in dozens of moments.
