Mystery, Beauty, Hope, Faith,Love

"The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science."
-A. Einstein, in "Ideas and Opinions: Albert Einstein" (1982)

"Nothing that is worth doing is completed in our lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope. Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore, we must be saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore, we are saved by love"
- Reinhold Neibuhr, The Irony of American History
