Maurice Merleau-Ponty Quotes
Theology recognizes the contingency of human existence only to derive it from a necessary being, that is, to remove it.

Philosophy, on the other hand, arouses us to what is problematic in our own existence and in that of the world, to such a point that we shall never be cured of searching for a solution.
