“Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.”
― Martin Luther

“The Christ in his own heart is weaker than the Christ in the word of his brother; his own heart is uncertain, his brother’s is sure.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together

“we must at all times remember what intellectuals habitually forget... the worst of all despotisms is the heartless tyranny of ideas”
― Paul Johnson, Intellectuals: From Marx and Tolstoy to Sartre and Chomsky

“Factually and objectively, however, nothing is indifferent, neither in nature, nor in the state, nor in science and art. All things, even the most humble, have their specific place and meaning in the context of the whole. Human beings are indifferent only to what they do not, or do not sufficiently, know; they automatically assess and appreciate what they do know. God, who knows all things, is not indifferent to anything.”
― Herman Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, Volume 1 : Prolegomena
