“If there was no faith there would be no living in this world.”

“No, I would not want to live in a world without dragons, as I would not want to live in a world without magic, for that is a world without mystery, and that is a world without faith.”

“No, I would not want to live in a world without dragons, as I would not want to live in a world without magic, for that is a world without mystery, and that is a world without faith. And that, I fear, for any reasoning, conscious being, would be the cruelest trick of all.”

“Faith is not about finding meaning in the world, there may be no such thing -- faith is the belief in our capacity to create meaningful lives.”

“I have found that living with faith in an unseen world requires constant effort.”

“world is not destroying because the standard of living has been deteriorated, it is destroying because the standard of faith is deteriorated.”
