“[...] provability is a weaker notion than truth”
“Juanita believes that nothing is provably true or provably false in the Bible. Because if it's provably false, then the Bible is a lie, and if it's provably true, then the existence of God is proven and there's no room for faith.”
“It is ... through the world of the imagination which takes us beyond the restrictions of provable fact, that we touch the hem of truth.”
“He who has injured thee was either stronger or weaker than thee. If weaker, spare him; if stronger, spare thyself.”
“Most people are not looking for provable truths. As you said, truth is often accompanied by intense pain, and almost no one is looking for painful truths. What people need is beautiful, comforting stories that make them feel as if their lives have some meaning. Which is where religion comes from.”
“Resolve was never stronger than in the morning, after the night, when it was never weaker”
