""The basic anxiety, the anxiety of a finite being about the threat of nonbeing, cannot be eliminated. It belongs to existence itself" (39).
"The courage of the modern period was not a simple optimism. It had to take into itself the deep anxiety of nonbeing in a universe without limits and without a humanly understandable meaning" (106)."
"The description of the types of anxiety is outstanding, and this to me is the reason for reading the book. However, after setting out the existential problem to be addressed, Tillich does not offer any compelling resolutions. Otherwise this would be a 5-star book."
"This classic defines the central human dilemma of being distanced from our essential nature. He defines courage as the choice to live fully in spite of human limitation and anxiety."
