Quote by Flannery O'Connor

Faith is what someone knows to be true, whether they believe it or not.

Faith is what someone knows to be true, whether they believe

Summary

This quote suggests that faith goes beyond mere belief. It implies that faith is grounded in a deeper level of understanding and knowing. It suggests that one's conviction or certainty about something may exist regardless of whether they hold a conscious belief in it. In other words, faith is portrayed as a personal truth that transcends conventional notions of belief, emphasizing the intrinsic nature of one's understanding rather than the act of believing itself.
