Mystical explanations are thought to be deep; the truth is that they are not even shallow.

It is not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, that the lover of knowledge is reluctant to step into its waters.

All truth is simple... is that not doubly a lie?

The love of truth has its reward in heaven and even on earth.

Nobody dies nowadays of fatal truths: there are too many antidotes to them.

When one gives up the Christian faith, one pulls the right to Christian morality out from under one's feet... Christianity is a system, a whole view of things thought out together. By breaking one main concept out of it, the faith in God, one breaks the whole: nothing necessary remains in one's hands. Christianity presupposes that man does not know, cannot know, what is good for him, what evil: he believes in God, who alone knows it... it has truth only if God is the truth — it stands and falls with faith in God.
