Religious Experiences

Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or experiences:

“Better risk loss of truth than chance of error—that is your faith-vetoer’s exact position. He is actively playing his stake as much as the believer is; he is backing the field against the religious hypothesis, just as the believer is backing the religious hypothesis against the field.”
—William James (1842–1910)

“Horrible experiences lead us to wonder whether the person who experiences them might not be something horrible.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
