"Have ye courage, O my brethren? . . . Not the courage before witnesses, but anchorite and eagle courage, which not even a God any longer beholdeth? . . .

He who seeth the abyss but with eagle's eyes,—he who with eagle's talons graspeth the abyss: he hath courage" (Nietzsche)

"Man's ultimate concern must be expressed symbolically, because symbolic language alone is able to express the ultimate" (Paul Tillich)
