“To live in this body and not know myself is like living in the presence of God and not knowing that he exist.”
“The true meaning of existence is disclosed in moments of living in the presence of God”
“I am as sure as I live that nothing is so near to me as God. God is nearer to me than I am to myself; my existence depends on the nearness and the presence of God.”
“I almost do not exist now and I know it; God knows what lives in me in place of me.”
“God is necessary, and therefore must exist... But I know that he does not and cannot exist... Don't you understand that a man with these two thoughts cannot go on living?”
“For the secret of human existence lies not only in living, but in knowing what to live for.”
