More quotes by Paul Tillich
The first duty of love is to listen.
Paul Tillich
Man is asked to make of himself what he is supposed to become to fulfill his destiny.
Paul Tillich
He who risks and fails can be forgiven. He who never risks and never fails is a failure in his whole being.
Paul Tillich
Since the last decades of the nineteenth century, revolt against the objectified world has determined the character of art and literature.
Paul Tillich
Loneliness can be conquered only by those who can bear solitude.
Paul Tillich
Genuine forgiveness is participation, reunion overcoming the powers of estrangement. . . We cannot love unless we have accepted forgiveness, and the deeper our experience of forgiveness is, the greater is our love.
Paul Tillich
Accept the fact that you are accepted, despite the fact that you are unacceptable.
Paul Tillich
The character of human life, like the character of the human condition, like the character of all life, is ambiguity: the inseparable mixture of good and evil, the true and false, the creative and destructive forces-both individual and social.
Paul Tillich
The awareness of the ambiguity of one's highest achievements, as well as one's deepest failures is a definite symptom of maturity.
Paul Tillich
Doubt is the necessary tool of knowledge.
Paul Tillich
Man and nature belong together in their created glory – in their tragedy and in their salvation.
Paul Tillich
The separation of faith and love is always a consequence of a deterioration of religion.
Paul Tillich
We are known in a depth of darkness through which we ourselves do not even dare to look. And at the same time, we are seen in a height of a fullness which surpasses our highest vision.
Paul Tillich
Faith as ultimate concern is an act of the total personality. It happens in the center of the personal life and includes all its elements. Faith is the most centered act of the human mind. It is not a movement of a special section or a special function of man's total being. They all are united in the act of faith.
Paul Tillich
Knowledge of that which concerns us infinitely is possible only in an attitude of infinite concern.
Paul Tillich
Doubt is not the opposite of faith it is one element of faith.
Paul Tillich
The anxiety of fate is conquered by the self-affirmation of the individual as an infinitely significant microcosmic representation of the universe .
Paul Tillich
The existential attitude is one of involvement in contrast to a merely theoretical or detached attitude. Existential in this sense can be defined as participating in a situation, especially a cognitive situation, with the whole of one's existence.
Paul Tillich
Enthusiasm for the universe, in knowing as well as in creating, also answers the question of doubt and meaninglessness. Doubt is the necessary tool of knowledge. And meaninglessness is no threat so long as enthusiasm for the universe and for man as its center is alive.
Paul Tillich
Mystical identification transcends the aristocratic virtue of courageous self-sacrifice. It is self- surrender in a higher, more complete, and more complete and more radical form. It is the perfect form of self-affirmation.
