“Question: What is the opposite of faith?

Not disbelief. Too final, certain, closed. Itself is a kind of belief.

Doubt.”

“The paramount relation between poetry and painting today, between modern man and modern art, is simply this: that in an age in which disbelief is so profoundly prevalent or, if not disbelief, indifference to questions of belief, poetry and painting, and the arts in general, are, in their measure, a compensation for what has been lost. Men feel that the imagination is the next greatest power to faith: the reigning prince.”

“The opposite of faith is not doubt, it’s certainty.”

“What was the opposite of linkage blindness? What described being certain of something without any kind of evidence?

… The term was.”

“Certainly you will have doubts. There will be questionings and faith will return again. That is how faith is established.”

“Have a belief in yourself that is bigger than anyone's disbelief.”

“Why is doubt the one thing we're never skeptical of? We question other peoples' beliefs, and the more sure they are the more we doubt them. But it never occurs to us to doubt our own doubt. Question our own questions. We think our questions are answers.”

“Belief?"
"Yes," Sazed said. "Tell me, Mistress. What is it that you believe?"
Vin frowned. "What kind of question is that?"
"The most important kind, I think.”

“I'm really intrigued by those eternal questions of creation and belief and faith.”

“Any belief that puts itself beyond doubt nurtures its own collapse.”
