The question is not, therefore, _whether_ a theory is grand or small, or whether it is universal/global or particular/local, but _what function_ a theory plays and _whose interest_ it serves.

Theology should be a discourse that helps the sociopolitical approach to justice to maintain its human face and not to become impersonal.

Cosmopolitan theology is a theology for _the impossible_.

Cosmopolitanism emphasizes and is grounded in a _singular relationality between and among people

Cosmopolitanism is a radical affirmation of the idea of neighbor/enemy-love-as-self love...Cosmopolitanism is about a cosmic scope of justice and hospitality––another name for _love_.

I believe theology should be about one's way of life, a kind of gaze into onesself and others, and a mode of one's profound existence in the world.

Cosmopolitan discourse...provides one with a _public gaze_ with which one can relate oneself to others in a different way.

I want to affirm that thinking and living, knowing and doing, theory and practice intersect.

Theological discourse can be, in and of itself, a form of identity and solidarity.

How can one maintain a theological confidence in what one claims to be _true_ while acknowledging the existence of multiple religions that also claim to be _true_?

Cosmopolitanism starts from the _singular_ individual rather than the _faceless_ collective

From quiet homes and first beginning, Out to the undiscovered ends, There's nothing worth the wear of winning, But laughter and the love of friends.

You tend to write because your heart holds million unspoken words, writing is your only way to heal your own soul!

Faith is a passionate intuition.

O! How vain and vile a passion is this fear! What base uncomely things it makes men do.

Nothing is sacred to a gamester.

Believing right doctrine will no more save you, than doing good works will save you.

Why only hate? Where does love remain? Or at least a little decency toward other people?

I think I'd be depressed if everything were nearly all known, but I don't feel any danger of that happening.

I just want to be treated like an average guy.

"All you need is love." I believe it. It's damn hard, but I absolutely believe it.
