Faith means intense, usually confident, belief that is not based on evidence sufficient to command assent from every reasonable person. (Walter Kaufmann Quotes)
The Greeks had considered hope the final evil in Pandora’s box. They also gave us an image of perfect nobility: a human being lovingly doing her duty to another human being despite all threats, and going to her death with pride and courage, not deterred by any hope - antigone (Walter Kaufmann Quotes)

It does not follow that the meaning must be given from above; that life and suffering must come neatly labeled; that nothing is worth while if the world is not governed by a purpose (Walter Kaufmann Quotes)
In all three cases, and for most human beings, the problem of suffering poses no difficult problem at all: one has a world picture in which suffering has its place, a world picture that takes suffering into account (Walter Kaufmann Quotes)
Reason may not always tell us what to believe, but it can help us on what we shouldn’t believe (Walter Kaufmann Quotes)
Let people who do not know what to do with themselves in this life, but fritter away their time reading magazines and watching television, hope for eternal life... The life I want is a life I could not endure in eternity. It is a life of love and intensity, suffering and creation, that makes life worth while and death welcome. There is no other life I should prefer. Neither should I like not to die (Walter Kaufmann Quotes)
Man stands alone in the universe, responsible for his condition, likely to remain in a lowly state, but free to reach above the stars (Walter Kaufmann Quotes)
Success is no proof of virtue. In the case of a book, quick acclaim is presumptive evidence of a lack of substance and originality (Walter Kaufmann Quotes)
