Paul Tillich, Dynamics of Faith

"...only the philosophical question is perennial, not the answers."

"[a] characteristic of a symbol is that it opens up levels of reality which otherwise are closed for us.[a symbol] also unlocks dimensions and elements of our soul which correspond to the dimensions and elements of reality. A great play gives us not only a new vision of the human scene, but it opens up hidden depths of our own being."

"Faith as the state of being ultimately concerned implies love, namely, the desire and urge toward the reunion of the seperated."

"Man is able to decide for or against reason, he is able to create beyond reason or to destroy below reason"
