“The very nature of the objective universe turns any spiritual faith and ideals into courageous acts of subjectivity, constantly vulnerable to intellectual negation.”
“It takes constant vigilance not to slip into negativity or simple apathy. It takes courage to believe over any given period of time that we are getting better and not sliding into decline.”
“Ideology is: intellectual ordering of the feelings; an objective connection among them that makes the subjective connection easier.”
“Faith in the Lord begins in fear, and comes to an end in spiritual courage.”
“Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, openness - an act of trust in the unknown.”
“Nature holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive and even spiritual satisfaction.”
