“If one has the answers to all the questions - that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself. The great leaders of the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties; we must be humble.” PeopleIfsMeanLeftAnswersRoomsLeaderLordDoubtHumbleProofCertaintyProphetGreat LeaderMosesBe HumbleFalse Prophets Author:Pope Francis
“I do not have easy days at home now and I drift between fear and helplessness in sunny rooms where it is unspeakably cold. Strange shudders of transformation, bodily experienced to the point of vulnerability, visions of mysteries until the certainty of having died, ecstasies to the point of stony petrifaction, and a continuation of dreaming sad dreams.” HomeDreamEasyRoomsVisionMysteryStrangeColdDiedTransformationCertaintyVulnerabilityEcstasySunnyHelplessnessContinuationEasy Days Author:Georg Trakl
“I am a product of endless books. My father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. There were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...In the seemingly endless rainy afternoons I took volume after volume from the shelves. I had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.” MenTwoBookFatherWalksRoomsStudyFieldsProductsFindingsDrawingEndlessShouldersCertaintyGrassAfternoonVolumeBedroomShelvesBladesLandingRainyGreat BookAtticsBlades Of GrassBookcases Author:C.

“We absolutely must leave room for doubt or there is no progress and no learning. There is no learning without having to pose a question. And a question requires doubt. People search for certainty. But there is no certainty.” PeopleRoomsDoubtProgressCertainty Author:Richard P. Feynman
