Douglas Adams
“To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.”
Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

“It is also possible to say precisely why. Truth seduces us very easily into a kind of joy of possession: I have comprehended this and that, learned it, understood it. Knowledge is power. I am therefore more than the other man who does not know this and that. I have greater possibilities and also greater temptations. Anyone who deals with truth - as we theologians certainly do - succumbs all too easily to the psychology of the possessor. But love is the opposite of the will to possess. It is self-giving. It boasteth not itself, but humbleth itself.”
Helmut Thielicke, A Little Exercise for Young Theologians

Howard Thurman
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
Howard Thurman

Ernst Bloch
“The best thing about religion is that it makes for heretics.”
Ernst Bloch, Atheism in Christianity: The Religion of the Exodus and the Kingdom

Luigi Giussani
“The more we discover our needs, the more we become aware that we cannot resolve them on our own. Nor can others, people like us. A sense of powerlessness accompanies every serious experience in our lives.”
Luigi Giussani, Christ, God's Companionship with Man
