Paul Tillich quotes about
honesty humble thoughtful
In this respect fundamentalism has demonic traits. It destroys the humble honesty of the search for truth, it splits the conscience of its thoughtful adherents, and it makes them fanatical because they are forced to suppress elements of truth of which they are dimly aware
cruelty
Cruelty towards others is always also cruelty towards ourselves.
darkness vision height
We are known in a depth of darkness through which we ourselves do not even dare to look. And at the same time, we are seen in a height of a fullness which surpasses our highest vision.
virtue courage-to-love greater
Courage is a greater virtue than love. At best, it takes courage to love.
