...there is one thing that all Satan's cunning and all the snares of temptation cannot take by surprise - an undivided will.

The crucial thing is to find a truth which is truth for me, to find the idea for which I am willing to live and die.

Any truth is only true up to a certain point. When one oversteps the mark, it becomes a non-truth.

It is the normal state of the human heart to try to build its identity around something besides God.

Freedom's possibility is not the ability to choose the good or the evil. The possibility is to be able.

Leap of faith – yes, but only after reflection

The difference between a man who faces death for the sake of an idea and an imitator who goes in search of martyrdom is that whilst the former expresses his idea most fully in death it is the strange feeling of bitterness which comes from failure that the latter really enjoys; the former rejoices in his victory, the latter in his suffering.
