A being is free only when it can determine and limit its activity.
Karl Barth
Image
No act of man can claim to be more than an attempt, not even science.
Karl Barth
Image
Religion is the possibility of the removal of every ground of confidence except confidence in God alone.
Karl Barth

Humanity in its basic form is co-humanity.
Karl Barth
Image
There is no philosophy that is not to some extent also theology.
Karl Barth
Image
Sin is not confined to the evil things we do. It is the evil within us, the evil which we are.
Karl Barth
Image
We must read the Bible through the eyes of shipwrecked people for whom everything has gone overboard.
Karl Barth
