“What vast funds of indifference society possesses”

“Are you saying a society wracked by plague is preferable to one wracked by indifference?”

“Thus each of us had to be content to live only for the day, alone under the vast indifference of the sky.”

“...Solidarity is, literally something which the society possesses.”

“The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent, but if we can come to terms with this indifference, then our existence as a species can have genuine meaning. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.”

“If anyone thinks he has faith and yet is indifferent towards this possession, is neither cold nor hot, he can be certain that he does not have faith. If anyone thinks he is Christian and yet is indifferent towards his being a Christian, then he really is not one at all. What would we think of a man who affirmed that he was in love and also that it was a matter of indifference to him?”
