Famous quotes containing the words element and/or child:
“Out of the element of participation follows the certainty of faith; out of the element of separation follows the doubt in faith. And each is essential for the nature of faith. Sometimes certainty conquers doubt, but it cannot eliminate doubt. The conquered of today may become the conqueror of tomorrow. Sometimes doubt conquers faith, but it still contains faith. Otherwise it would be indifference.”
—Paul Tillich (1886–1965)
“The child hand raised to reach the holding hand. Hold the old holding hand. Hold and be held.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
