In art, and maybe just in general, the idea is to be able to be really comfortable with contradictory ideas. In other words, wisdom might be, seem to be, two contradictory ideas both expressed at their highest level and just let to sit in the same cage sort of, vibrating. So, I think as a writer, I'm really never sure of what I really believe.
Quote by -George Saunders
I used to joke about this but I've recently realized that I really believe it: I spent many years training myself to write very slowly for pretty good money. So the idea of writing really quickly for free offends me.
Quote by -George Saunders
If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.
Quote by -Saint Augustine
Do not believe yourself healthy. Immortality is health; this life is a long sickness.
Quote by -Saint Augustine
Sin is believing the lie that you are self-created, self-dependent and self-sustained.
Quote by -Saint Augustine
Whoever is still seeking for miracles so that he may believe is himself a wonder, who does not believe while the world around him does.
Quote by -Saint Augustine
...But we enjoyed playing games and were punished for them by men who played games themselves. However, grown-up games are known as 'business' and even though boys' games are much the same, they are punished for them by their elders. No one pities either the boys or the men, though surely we deserve pity, for I cannot believe that a good judge would approve of the beatings I received as a boy on the ground that my games delayed my progress in studying subjects which would enable me to play a less creditable game later in life.
Quote by -Saint Augustine
Though he avoided outright endorsement of the view, fifth-century Church Father Saint Augustine was clearly familiar with the theory of the spherical earth: "They [those who believe that "there are men on the other side of the earth"] fail to observe that even if the world is held to be global or rounded in shape, or if some process of reasoning should prove this to be the case, it would still not necessarily follow that the land on the opposite side is not covered by masses of water."
Quote by -Saint Augustine
Try to acquire the virtues you believe lacking in your brothers. Then you will no longer see their defects, for you will no longer have them yourself.
Quote by -Saint Augustine
Heaven forbid that we should believe in such a way as not to accept or seek reasons, since we could not even believe if we did not possess rational souls.
Quote by -Saint Augustine
No one indeed believes anything unless he has first thought that it it to be believed.
Quote by -Saint Augustine
Narrow is the mansion of my soul; enlarge Thou it, that Thou mayest enter in. It is ruinous; repair Thou it. It has that within which must offend Thine eyes; I confess and know it. But who shall cleanse it? or to whom should I cry, save Thee? Lord, cleanse me from my secret faults, and spare Thy servant from the power of the enemy. I believe, and therefore do I speak.
Quote by -Saint Augustine
On the altar you are looking at the same thing as you saw there last night. You have not heard, however, what this is, what it signifies, or about the greatness of the reality of which it is a sacrament. Your eyes are looking at bread and cup. This is the evidence before your physical sight. But your faith must be instructed concerning it- this bread being Christ 's Body and the cup containing His Blood. Though perhaps these words may be enough to initiate faith, faith must be further instructed in accordance with the Prophet's words: 'Believe that you may understand'
Quote by -Saint Augustine
I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so.
Quote by -Saint Augustine
The Buddhist version of poverty is a situation where you have nothing to contribute.
Quote by -Michael Palin
"Faith does not, in the realist, spring from the miracle but the miracle from the faith."
Quote by -Fyodor Dostoevsky
"Faith is like our life breath. It is impossible to live even for a minute in this world without faith."
Quote by -Sathya Baba
"Once you believe in who you are and who you were born to be, it can be very powerful."
Quote by -Dwayne Johnson
Faithfulness and truth are the most sacred excellences and endowments of the human mind.
Quote by -Vince Lombardi
The basic assumption of the secular society is that modernity overcomes religion.
