Quote

The divine is perhaps that quality in man which permits him to endure the lack of God.

A man has no religion who has not slowly and painfully gathered one together, adding to it, shaping it; and one's religion is never complete and final, it seems, but must always be undergoing modification.

The essence of a man is found in his faults.

He who overcomes himself is divine. Most see their ruin before their eyes; but they go on into it.

Cut off from his religious, metaphysical and transcendental roots, man is lost; all his actions become senseless, absurd, useless.

A religious man is a person who holds God and man in one thought at one time, at all times, who suffers harm done to others, whose greatest passion is compassion, whose greatest strength is love and defiance of despair.

If there is no God, then man sometimes thinks he is god, and sometimes tries to live like a god.

Men create the gods in their own image.
