Faith Quote by Boris Pasternak
““The main trouble, the root of the future evil, was loss of faith in the value of one’s own opinion. People imagined that the time when they followed the urgings of their moral sense was gone, that now they had to sing to the general tune and live by foreign notions imposed on everyone.””

![“When I got untethered from the comfort of religion, it wasn't a loss of faith for me, it was a discovery of self. I had faith that I'm capable enough to handle any situation. There's peace in understanding that I have only one life, here and now, and [that] I'm responsible.” quote by Brad Pitt](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/042/brad-pitt-1608_atheist_when-i-got-untethered-from-the-comfort-o_1442094.jpg)
