"In the introduction to my book..., I wrote, 'The boundary is the best place for acquiring knowledge.' When I was asked to give an account of the way my ideas have developed from my life, I thought that the concept of the boundary might be the fitting symbol for the whole of my personal and intellectual development. At almost every point, I have had to stand between alternative possibilities of existence, to be completely at home in neither and to take no definitive stand against either. Since thinking presupposes receptiveness to new possibilities, this position is fruitful for thought; but it is difficult and dangerous for life, which again and again demands decisions and thus the exclusion of alternatives. This disposition and its tension have determined both my destiny and my work." -Paul Tillich
