The question is asked in ignorance, by one who does not even know what can have led him to ask it.

Faith is a marvel, and yet no human being is excluded from it; for that in which all human life is united is passion, and faith is a passion.

It's better to get lost in the passion than to lose the passion

I go fishing for a thousand monsters in the depths of my own self

For without risk there is no faith, and the greater the risk, the greater the faith.

Thus our own age is essentially one of understanding, and on the average, perhaps, more knowledgeable than any former generation, but it is without passion. Every one knows a great deal, we all know which way we ought to go and all the different ways we can go, but nobody is willing to move.
