Απο το βιβλίο What make us think? που εχει διαλογους με τον J.P. Changeux
pg 268. the idea of being preceded in one's capacity for speech by the word of another is for me the point of origin, the point of departure, and , in the last resort, the ultimate source of religious authority
pg 270 I am standing on the surface of a fragmented sphere at the point that lies between different religious areas: if I try to run along this surface-if I try to be clectic- I will never reach a universal religion through syncretism; but if I go deeply enough into my tradition, I will go beyond the limits of my language. In moving toward what I call the fundamental -what others reach by other routes- I shorten the distance between myself and others along the dimension of depth. On the surface the distance separating us is immense; but if I dig down, I draw nearer to the other, who travles the same path.
