"It is to be believed because it is absurd."
"Let our “seeking,” therefore, be in that which is our own [teaching], and from those who are our own, and concerning that which is our own – that and only that … can become an object of inquiry without impairing the rule of faith."
"It is better for you to remain in ignorance, lest you should come to know what you ought not, because you have [already] acquired the knowledge of what you ought to know…. To know nothing in opposition to the rule [of faith] is to know all things."
"the absurd is precisely the object of faith, and only that can be believed…."
"you will not be “wise” unless you become a “fool” to the world, by believing “the foolish things”"
