Quote of the Day

“To have religious faith is not merely to sustain hope but to eliminate the very possibility of being in despair. “Not to be in despair must signify the destroyed possibility of being able to be in despair,” Kierkegaard explains in The Sickness unto Death. “If a person is truly not to be in despair, he must at every moment destroy the possibility.”
