"Ich habe keine lebendige Empfindung eines Verkehrs mit Gott. Ich beneide die, die eine solche haben, da ich weiß, daß sie mir unendlich helfen würde. Das Göttliche ist für mein aktives Leben auf abstrakte Begriffe beschränkt, die als Ideale mich interessieren und beeinflussen, aber sie tun es nur schwach im Vergleich mit dem Gottesgefühl, wenn ich ein solches hätte."
