“This is biblical ethics. It has little to do with the middle-class ethics of avoiding a few things which are supposed to be wrong and doing a few things which are supposed to be right. Biblical ethics means standing in ultimate decisions for or against God.”

“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”

“As Paul Tillich put it, suffering introduces you to yourself and reminds you that you are not the person you thought you were.”

“Man's ultimate concern must be expressed symbolically, because symbolic language alone is able to express the ultimate.”

“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.”

“Loneliness expresses the pain of being alone and solitude expresses the glory of being alone.”

“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.”

“Faith is an act of a finite being who is grasped by, and turned to, the infinite.”

“Faith consists in being vitally concerned with that ultimate reality to which I give the symbolical name of God. Whoever reflects earnestly on the meaning of life is on the verge of an act of faith.”

“Doubt is not the opposite of faith it is one element of faith. ”

“Faith is the state of being ultimately concerned.”
