Quote by Annie Dillard
It could be that our faithlessness is a cowering cowardice born of our very smallness, a massive failure of imagination. If we were to judge nature by common sense or likelihood, we wouldn't believe the world existed.
Summary
This quote suggests that our lack of faith or belief may stem from fear, especially fear rooted in our limited understanding and perspective as humans. It implies that our inability or unwillingness to imagine what lies beyond our grasp limits our faith in things that may seem unlikely or beyond reason. If we were to rely solely on common sense or what seems probable, we might question the very existence of the world and fail to see the extraordinary possibilities that lie outside our conventional thinking.
