“...only the philosophical question is perennial, not the answers.”

“Religion is the state of being grasped by an ultimate concern, a concern which qualifies all other concerns as preliminary and which itself contains the answer to the question of a meaning of our life." Paul Tillich”

“The passion for truth is silenced by answers which have the weight of undisputed authority.”

“Paul Tillich - Loneliness & Solitude: "And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain to pray: and when the evening was come, he was alone" - Matthew 14.23. 'He was there alone.' So are we. Man [humankind] is alone because he/[she] is man [human]. In some way every creature is alone...Loneliness can be conqured only by those who can bear solitude (1973:15 & 20).To overcome 'our' sense of aloness is a life long pursuite - let us not despair in its pursuite!”

“The courage to be is the courage to accept oneself, in spite of being unacceptable.”

“In the courageous standing of uncertainty, faith shows most visibly its dynamic character.”

“There is no place to which we could flee from God, which is outside of God.”
