And I'll tell you, I've seen the lightning flash. I've heard the thunder roll. I felt sin-breakers dashing, trying to conquer my soul. But I heard the voice of Jesus saying still to fight on.

The greatest and most important problems of life are all in a certain sense insoluble. They can never be solved, but only outgrown. This 'outgrowing', as I formerly called it, on further experience was seen to consist in a new level of consciousness.

It was not solved logically in its own terms, but faded out when confronted with a new and stronger life-tendency.

Carl Jung

No problem is insoluble, given a big enough plastic bag.

Tom Stoppard

Allen W. Wood

As soon as you have a problem, it's insoluble. These things should never have been allowed to happen.
