“We are among the first peoples in human history who do not broadly inherit religious identity as a given, a matter of kin and tribe, like hair color and hometown. But the very fluidity of this—the possibility of choice that arises, the ability to craft and discern one’s own spiritual bearings—is not leading to the decline of spiritual life but its revival. It is changing us, collectively. It is even renewing religion, and our cultural encounter with religion, in counterintuitive ways. I meet scientists who speak of a religiosity without spirituality—a reverence for the place of ritual in human life, and the value of human community, without a need for something supernaturally transcendent. There is something called the New Humanism, which is in dialogue about moral imagination and ethical passions across boundaries of belief and nonbelief. But I apprehend— with a knowledge that is as much visceral as cognitive— that God is love. That somehow the possibility of care that can transform us— love muscular and resilient— is an echo of a reality behind reality, embedded in the creative force that gives us life.”

“Een man stelde mijn vriend Jaime Cohen de volgende vraag: "Wat vindt u het grappigste aan de mens?" Jaime antwoordde: "Onze manier van denken. We denken voortdurend verkeerd om: hoe eerder we volwassen kunnen zijn hoe beter en vervolgens klagen we over onze verloren jeugd. Onze gezondheid offeren we op om aan geld te komen en hebben we dat dan geven we alles weer uit om weer gezond te worden. We zijn zo op de toekomst gericht dat we het heden verwaarlozen en hebben daardoor in het heden geen leven, maar in de toekomst ook niet. We leven alsof we nooit dood zullen gaan en sterven alsof we nooit hebben geleefd.”
