Religion is, as it were, the calm bottom of the sea at its deepest point, which remains calm however high the waves on the surface may be. - Ludwig Wittgenstein (Notebooks Quotes)

Religion is, as it were, the calm bottom of the sea at its deepest point, which remains calm however high the waves on the surface may be.[Die Religion ist sozusagen der tiefste ruhige Meeresgrund, der ruhig bleibt, wie hoch auch die Wellen oben gehen.]
