Quote by Paul Tillich

The courage to be is rooted in the God who appears when God has disappeared in the anxiety of doubt.

The courage to be is rooted in the God who appears when God

Summary

This quote suggests that true courage comes from finding faith and strength in moments of doubt and uncertainty, especially when one feels disconnected from a traditional concept of God. Instead of relying solely on external factors or beliefs, "the courage to be" is found within oneself, through an inner commitment to persevere despite the absence of clear answers. It implies that it is in these vulnerable moments that one can discover a deeper understanding of oneself and find the courage to continue moving forward.

I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism.
