Certain though I am - and ever more certain - that I must press on in life as though Christ awaited me at the term of the universe, at the same time I feel no special assurance of the existence of Christ. Believing is not seeing. As much as anyone, I imagine, I walk in the shadows of faith.

Life is only a long and bitter suicide, and faith alone can transform this suicide into a sacrifice.

It is a great consolation for me to remember that the Lord, to whom I had drawn near in humble and child-like faith, has suffered and died for me, and that He will look on me in love and compassion.

I'm originally from Victorville, California, I grew up there. You know, it was a journey, because in Victorville, you know, it's tough out there. It's not like, the easiest place to grow up, so I had just faith in God that if I keep working hard, I could make a way for myself, so my faith in God is something I need, it's essential.

Creativity is always a leap of faith. You're faced with a blank page, blank easel, or an empty stage.

I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in the kindness of human beings. I am so absorbed in the wonder of earth and the life upon it that I cannot think of heaven and angels.

Faith is not believing that God can. It is knowing that God will.

I never really had the classic struggle. I had faith.

To Follow by faith alone is to follow blindly.

In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it.
