Martin Buber
“The atheist staring from his attic window is often nearer to God than the believer caught up in his own false image of God.”
Martin Buber

James P. Carse
“Finite players play within boundaries; infinite players play with boundaries.”
James Carse, Finite and Infinite Games

James P. Carse
“if we cannot tell a story about what happened to us, nothing has happened to us.”
James P. Carse, Finite and Infinite Games

James P. Carse
“It is with this thought that many believers would call up Kierkegaard's famous phrase, the 'leap of faith,' pictured perhaps as a leap from here to there, leaving out the in-between... What is usually overlooked, however, is that Kierkegaard said nothing about a safe landing; there was only the leap, and no guarantee of solid ground beyond it.”
James P. Carse, The Religious Case Against Belief

James P. Carse
“Therefore, poets do not 'fit' into society, not because a place is denied them but because they do not take their 'places' seriously. They openly see its roles as theatrical, its styles as poses, its clothing costumes, its rules conventional, its crises arranged, its conflicts performed and its metaphysics ideological.”
James P. Carse, Finite and Infinite Games: A Vision of Life as Play and Possibility
