Know why you believe, understand what you believe, and possess a reason for the faith that is in you.

All that I say is, examine, inquire. Look into the nature of things. Search out the grounds of your opinions, the for and against. Know why you believe, understand what you believe, and possess a reason for the faith that is in you.

Credulity is always ridiculous.

If you're a big Nirvana fan, a big Hole fan, then I understand why you would want to get to know me, but I'm not my parents.

Whatever you cannot understand, you cannot possess.

Grace is not something one possesses; instead, grace is something one receives.
