A Spiritual Misfit Stumbles Toward God, Marginal Sanity, and the Peace That Passes All Understanding


from Godspy:

“The Christian religion is only for one who needs infinite help. That is, only for one who feels infinite anguish. The whole earth can suffer no greater torment than a single soul. The Christian faith – as I see it – is one’s refuge in this ultimate torment. Anyone to whom it is given in this anguish to open his heart, instead of contracting it, accepts the means of salvation in his heart.” — Ludwig Wittgenstein
