“It is not always easy for us to distinguish between a moment of dying and a moment of new birth.”

“Во многих случаях для того, чтобы хоть как-то функционировать, мы вынуждены полагаться на информацию из третьих рук. Я принимаю на веру слова врача, ученого, фермера. Мне это не нравится. Я вынужден это делать потому, что они обладают живым знанием, которого я лишен. Я согласен жить и пользоваться чужими знаниями о состоянии моих почек, о роли холестерина, о разведении кур; но когда речь идет о смысле и цели жизни и смерти, то информация из третьих рук меня не устраивает. Я не согласен жить чьей-то верой в чьего-то Бога.”

“One of our problems is that very few of us have developed any distinctive personal life. Everything about us seems second hand, even our emotions. In many cases we have to rely on secondhand information in order to function. I accept the word of a physician, a scientist, a farmer, on trust. I do not like to do this. I have to because they possess vital knowledge of living of which I am ignorant. Secondhand information concerning the state of my kidneys, the effects of cholesterol, and the raising of chickens, I can live with. But when it comes to questions of meaning, purpose, and death, secondhand information will not do. . . . There has to be a personal word, a unique confrontation, if I am to come alive.”
