“What is belief - what is faith - if you don't continue it after failure?”

“After all, by what lights can you see atheism as a “leap of faith”? What is the “faith” there? Failure to accept gods is no more a leap of faith than is doubting the existence of the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, or Santa Claus. It’s not “faith” when you refuse to accept a proposition for which there’s no evidence.”

“Faith is belief in what you cannot see or prove or touch. Faith is walking face-first and full-speed into the dark.”

“What of Art?
-It is a malady.
--Love?
-An Illusion.
--Religion?
-The fashionable substitute for Belief.
--You are a sceptic.
-Never! Scepticism is the beginning of Faith.
--What are you?
-To define is to limit.”

“Don't dig up in doubt what you planted in faith.”

“Faith is belief in what I do not know now, so I can come soon enough for what I believe in.”

“Perhaps the ultimate test of a leader is not what you are able to do in the here and now - but instead what continues to grow long after you're gone.”

“What do you mean, you "don't believe in homosexuality?" It's not like the Easter Bunny, your belief isn't necessary.”

“Question: What is the opposite of faith?

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

Doubt.”

“There is nothing in the world so easy to explain as failure - it is, after all, what everybody does all the time.”
