“Any faith that admires truth, that strives to know God, must be brave enough to accommodate the universe.”
“I know faith. Therefore, I must embrace the crown of thorns. I seek the truth. Therefore, I must dare to disobey God.”
“Courage is sometimes frail as hope is frail: a fragile shoot between two stones that grows brave toward the sun though warmth and brightness fail, striving and faith the only strength it knows.”
“..while I was happy enough to pray to any god, knowing that they were simply different faces created by men, of one indivisible truth.”
“Faith in the possibilities of continued and rigorous inquiry does not limit access to truth to any channel or scheme of things. It does not first say that truth is universal and then add there is but one road to it.”
“To know the history of science is to recognize the mortality of any claim to universal truth. ”
