I was very very religious. And of course I wrote about it in 'Night.' I questioned God's silence. So I questioned. I don't have an answer for that. Does it mean that I stopped having faith? No. I have faith but I question it.

You see some non-Catholic friends of mine have questioned the depth of my faith because of the fact that I have a good education.

My mom was really vigorous about making sure that we saw things and that we questioned things. Education was so important to both of my parents.

There is not to be found in all history any miracle attested by a sufficient number of men of such unquestioned good sense education and learning as to secure us against all delusion in themselves.

The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such. All leaders whose fitness is questioned are clearly lacking in force.
