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.
"[Love is] the drive towards the unity of the separated." (From Love, Power, and Justice)
The courage to be is the courage to accept oneself, in spite of being unacceptable.
Man's ultimate concern must be expressed symbolically, because symbolic language alone is able to express the ultimate.
If my tongue were trained to measures, I would sing a stirring song.
Being religious means asking passionately the question of the meaning of our existence and being willing to receive answers, even if the answers hurt.
