“All Christian language about the future is a set of signposts pointing into a mist.”
“Language is but a huge set of false analogies. There has to be a better way to make a point.”
“…the universe…sets out little signposts for us along the way, to confirm that we’re on the right path.” (p.XV)”
“Set out from any point. They are all alike. They all lead to a point of departure.”
“Someone had to go first, show that there was a life to be recorded here, that this place, this new set of possibilities, could inspire a new literature. Cooper set the signpost on the road, and hearty travelers have been following it ever since.”
“The original language of Christianity is translation.”
