A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.
faithquotes
Faith: not wanting to know what the truth is.
I had to deny knowledge in order to make room for faith.
It is as if I were made of stone, as if I were my own tombstone, there is no loophole for doubt or for faith, for love or repugnance, for courage or anxiety, in particular or in general, only a vague hope lives on, but no better than the inscriptions on tombstones.
Faith, like a guillotine. As heavy, as light.
Even the merest gesture is holy if it is filled with faith.
The Men of Faith will play the cup-bearers at this lifelong bacchanal, filling and ever filling again with the warm liquor that the intelligences, in sad and sober privacy behind the scenes, will brew for the intoxication of their subjects.
Give us this day our daily Faith, but deliver us, dear God, from Belief.
Just as faith teaches us that the sovereign felicity of the other life consists in the contemplation of the divine majesty alone, so even now we can learn from experience that a similar meditation, although incomparably less perfect, allows us to enjoy the greatest happiness we are capable of feeling in this life.
experience / Faith / Happiness
Indeed, happiness is nothing other than being encompassed, an after-image of the original shelter within the mother. But for this reason no one who is happy can know that he is so. To see happiness, he would have to pass out of it: to be as if already born. He who says he is happy lies, and in invoking happiness, sins against it. He alone keeps faith who says: I was happy.
