“Doubt isn't the opposite of faith; it is an element of faith.”
Paul Tillich

“Our language has wisely sensed these two sides of man’s being alone. It has created the word “loneliness” to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word “solitude” to express the glory of being alone.”
Paul Tillich, The Eternal Now

“Sometimes I think it is my mission to bring faith to the faithless, and doubt to the faithful.”
Paul Tillich
