...the person who surrenders absolutely to God, with no reservations, is absolutely safe. From this safe hiding-place he can see the devil , but the devil cannot see him.

I have never fought in such a way as to say: I am the true Christian, others are not Christians.

The gods were bored and so they created man. Adam was bored because he was alone, so Eve was created. Thus boredom entered the world, and increased in proportion to the increase in population. Adam was bored alone, then Adam and Eve were bored together; them Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel were bored en famille; then the population of the world increased, and the people were bored en masse.

I do not lack the courage to think a thought whole.

Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.

On the whole, the longing for solitude is a sign that there still is spirit in a person and is a measure of what spirit there is.

Without risk, faith is an impossibility.
