Fantasy is true, of course. It isn’t factual, but it is true. Children know that. Adults know it too, and that is precisely why many of them are afraid of fantasy. They know that its truth challenges, even threatens, all that is phony, unnecessary, and trivial in the life they have let themselves be forced into living.

But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.

Truth emerges more readily from error than from confusion

When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth

Science is a mere heap of facts, not a golden chain of truths, if we refuse to link it to the throne of God.

When your life is the true expression of your faith, whom can you fear?

Doubt is the incentive to truth and inquiry leads the way

We must receive the truth, not hunt after it; look up the heavens and wait, instead of digging into the earth with vain toil; open our hearts, instead of racking our brains. The best knowledge always comes in this way.

Doubt is the incentive to truth and inquiry leads the way

To win for ourselves and to win for others, in so far as one soul can win for another, the life that is true, good, and beautiful – this is our ideal.
