"In other words, Theology is practical: especially now. In the old days, when there was less education and discussion, perhaps it was possible to get on with a very few simple ideas about God. But it is not so now. Everyone reads, everyone hears things discussed. Consequently, if you do not listen to Theology, that will not mean that you have no ideas about God. It will mean that you have a lot of wrong ones - bad, muddled, out-of-date ideas. For a great many of the ideas about God which are trotted out as novelties to-day are simply the ones which real Theologians tried centuries ago and rejected."
"The best theology would need no advocates; it would prove itself."
"Jesus is the only significance. Beside Jesus nothing has any significance. He alone matters."

I can only approach the task of understanding with a free and open mind, whereas knowledge of man, or insight into human character, presupposes all sorts of knowledge about mankind in general."
"Nothing has a stronger influence psychologically on their environment and especially on their children than the unlived lives of the parents."
"Understanding does not cure evil, but it is a definite help, inasmuch as one can cope with a comprehensible darkness."
"Midlife is the time to let go of an overdominant ego and to contemplate the deeper significance of human existence."
"But there is no energy unless there is a tension of opposites, hence it is necessary to discover the opposite to the attitude of the conscious mind."
"But the shadow is merely somewhat inferior, primitive, unadapted, and awkward; not wholly bad. It even contains childish or primitive qualities which would in a way vitalize and embellish human existence, but convention forbids!"
