Luigi Giussani
“True solitude does not come from being physically alone but from the discovery that a fundamental problem of ours cannot find its solution in us or in others.”
Luigi Giussani, Christ, God's Companionship with Man

Søren Kierkegaard
“The matter is quite simple. The bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we understand, we are obliged to act accordingly. Take any words in the New Testament and forget everything except pledging yourself to act accordingly. My God, you will say, if I do that my whole life will be ruined. How would I ever get on in the world? Herein lies the real place of Christian scholarship. Christian scholarship is the Church’s prodigious invention to defend itself against the Bible, to ensure that we can continue to be good Christians without the Bible coming too close. Oh, priceless scholarship, what would we do without you? Dreadful it is to fall into the hands of the living God. Yes it is even dreadful to be alone with the New Testament.”
Søren Kierkegaard, Provocations: Spiritual Writings of Kierkegaard

Douglas Adams
“To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.”
Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

Ernst Bloch
“The best thing about religion is that it makes for heretics.”
Ernst Bloch, Atheism in Christianity: The Religion of the Exodus and the Kingdom

Luigi Giussani
“The more we discover our needs, the more we become aware that we cannot resolve them on our own. Nor can others, people like us. A sense of powerlessness accompanies every serious experience in our lives.”
Luigi Giussani, Christ, God's Companionship with Man
