Cruelty towards others is always also cruelty towards ourselves.
From Paul Tillich
Faith is an act of a finite being who is grasped by, and turned to, the infinite.
Man's ultimate concern must be expressed symbolically, because symbolic language alone is able to express the ultimate.
Language... has created the word 'loneliness' to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word 'solitude' to express the glory of being alone.
Our language has wisely sensed the two sides of being alone. It has created the word loneliness to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word solitude to express the glory of being alone.
Decision is a risk rooted in the courage of being free.
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.
Faith is the state of being ultimately concerned.
Neurosis is the way of avoiding non-being by avoiding being.
We can speak without voice to the trees and the clouds and the waves of the sea. Without words they respond through the rustling of leaves and the moving of clouds and the murmuring of the sea.
