Irvin D. Yalom
“Again, Nietzsche thumbed through his notes, and then read, “ ‘One must have chaos and frenzy within oneself to give birth to a dancing star.”

Paul Tillich
“the courage to accept oneself as accepted in spite of being unacceptable…. This is the genuine meaning of the Pauline-Lutheran doctrine of ‘justification by faith”
Paul Tillich, The Courage to Be

Sean Carroll
“Poetic naturalism is a philosophy of freedom and responsibility. The raw materials of life are given to us by the natural world, and we must work to understand them and accept the consequences. The move from description to prescription, from saying what happens to passing judgment on what should happen, is a creative one, a fundamentally human act. The world is just the world, unfolding according to the patterns of nature, free of any judgmental attributes. The world exists; beauty and goodness are things that we bring to it.”
Sean Carroll, The Big Picture: On the Origins of Life, Meaning, and the Universe Itself

Steven Weinberg
“Whatever the final laws of nature may be, there is no reason to suppose that they are designed to make physicists happy.”
Steven Weinberg, To Explain the World: The Discovery of Modern Science
