“Oh, you secure and safe ones, you who hide yourselves behind the ramparts of the law, or theology or ethics, so you will not have to look at God’s abyss. Yes, you have secure ground under your feet, while we hang suspended looking out over the endless deeps, but we would not exchange our dizzy insecurity and poverty for your security and abundance. Of God’s will, we know only the eternal; the temporal we must command for our-selves, our selves imprint his wordless bidding even anew on the stuff of reality.”

“Woe to the man so possessed that he thinks he possesses God!”
