“This is the problem of all great revelations: their significance so often exceeds the frame of our comprehension. We understand only after, always after. Not simply when it is too late, but precisely because it is too late.”

“Doubt begets understanding, and understanding begets compassion. Verily, it is conviction that kills.”

“Faith is the truth of passion. Since no passion is more true than another, faith is the truth of nothing.”
