I hope for the day when everyone can speak again of God without embarrassment.
Our language has wisely sensed the two sides of being alone. It has created the word loneliness to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word solitude to express the glory of being alone.
Man's ultimate concern must be expressed symbolically, because symbolic language alone is able to express the ultimate.
Faith consists in being vitally concerned with that ultimate reality to which I give the symbolical name of God. Whoever reflects earnestly on the meaning of life is on the verge of an act of faith.
