“It can be a good thing if deeper theology, or philosophy, only makes one more uncertain. It may lead to a healthy doubt; he may throw his hands up saying, 'God, I just don't know anymore. If you're out there, I'm giving it all to you.' From there, after the surrender, he is allowing God himself, rather than theories, books, and documents, to take over and lead him into all truth.” IfsKnowsGivingMayBookPhilosophyHandsDoubtTheoryHealthyGood ThingsDeeperSurrenderTheologyAllowingUncertainDocumentsHands UpGiving It All Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“The anchor of meaning resides in an abyss, deeper than the reach of despair. Yet the abyss is not not infinite; its bottom may suddenly be discovered within the confines of a human heart or under the debris of might doubts. This may be the vocation of man: to say "Amen" to being and to the Author of being; to live in defiance of absurdity, notwithstanding futility and defeat; to attain faith in God even in spite of God.” MenHumansHeartMayMightDoubtDespairInfiniteBottomDefeatDeeperSpiteFaith In GodAbsurdityHuman HeartAbyssVocationAnchorsDefianceFutilityAmenDebris Book:Who is Man?

“the sea is a place of mystery. One by one, the mysteries of yesterday have been solved. But the solution seems always to bring with it another, perhaps a deeper mystery. I doubt that the last, final mysteries of the sea will ever be resolved. In fact, I cherish a very unscientific hope that they will not be.” Has BeensFactsSeemsLastsDoubtMysterySeaOceanSolutionsFinalsDeeperYesterdayCherish Book:Lost Woods: The Discovered Writing of Rachel Carson Source: Lost Woods: The Discovered Writing of Rachel Carson
“It is only great pain--that slow, sustained pain that takes its time, in which we are, as it were, burned with smoldering green firewood--that forces us philosophers to sink to our ultimate profundity and to do away with all the trust, everything good-natured, veil-imposing, mild and middling, on which we may have previously based our humanity. I doubt that such a pain makes us 'better'--but I know that it makes us deeper.” KnowsMayPainHumanityForceDoubtUltimateGreenPhilosopherDeeperBurnedVeilsImposingProfundityFirewood Author:Friedrich Nietzsche
