It is easier to take a position in the abstract than when it hits home.
— Dennis Prager
The Why's of suffering keep us shrouded in a seemingly bottomless void of abstraction where God is reduced to a finite ethical agent, a limited psychological personality, whose purposes measure on the same scale as ours.
— Tullian Tchividjian
Thou shalt make no image, no abstraction, including none of THE American, THE Swiss, THE German.
