Alexander Schmemann Quotes
I Said That The Question About Death, And More Precisely, The Confusion About Death, Lies At The Very Heart Of Human Understanding, And In The Final Analysis, The Relation Of Man To Life, That Which We Call His Worldview, Is Ultimately Determined By His Relationship To Death.
All Of Civilization Seems To Be Permeated With A Passionate Obsession To Stifle This Fear Of Death And The Sense Of The Meaninglessness Of Life That Oozes Out Of It Like A Slow-dripping Poison. What Is This Intense Conflict With Religion, If Nothing Other Than A Mindless Attempt To Root Out Of Human Consciousness The Memory And Concern With Death And Consequently The Question: Why Do I Live In This Brief And Fragile Life?
