Quote by Petter Dass

“Mig mindes vel og den u-lyckelig Stund, Da henved fem hundrede Kroppe til Grund, Omkomme for U-veyr paa Folden Hvor ey kunde føres en Traad eller Klud; Af tusinde Siele, som seilede ud, Kom neppe tre hundred beholden.”

“Disgusted by the abuses to which it led, humanity repressed Christianity by which it had so long been dominated. Repressed, but not eliminated. Herein lies, I believe, the essence of the tragedy of modern times. The modern man lives as if Christianity were a negligible hypothesis with no relation to the concrete realities of the world and society. And yet at the bottom of his heart this man remains impregnated with Christianity, so that he lives in a state of perpetual ambivalence with regard to it.”
