I believe because it is impossible.

I believe because it is impossible.

Summary

This quote implies that the act of believing in something becomes more significant and powerful when the thing being believed in seems impossible or unlikely. It suggests that having faith in something against all odds makes the belief stronger and more meaningful. By acknowledging that the object of belief is seemingly impossible, there is a sense of defiance and determination to hold onto it, potentially amplifying its value and impact.
