Spirituality for the Skeptic Quotes

“What gives life meaning is a form of rebellion, rebellion against reason, an insistence on believing passionately what we cannot believe rationally. The meaning of life is to be found in passion—romantic passion, religious passion, passion for work and for play, passionate commitments in the face of what reason knows to be meaningless.”
― Robert C. Solomon, Spirituality for the Skeptic: The Thoughtful Love of Life

“ما يعطي الحياة معنى هو شكل من التمرد , التمرد ضد العقل , الاصرار على الايمان بشغف فيما لانستطيع الايمان به عقلياً . معنى الحياة يوجد في الشغف , الشغف الرومانسي والشغف الديني والشغف بالعمل واللعب , التزامات شغوفة في مواجهة ما يعرف العقل انه بلا معنى”
― Robert C. Solomon, Spirituality for the Skeptic: The Thoughtful Love of Life

“It is by making meanings in life that we free ourselves from the meaninglessness of suffering.”
