Bruno Latour, Rejoicing: Or the Torments of Religious Speech. 2018, p. 144
“
There is no control and no all-powerful creator, either – no more 'God' than man – but there is care, scruple, cautiousness, attention, contemplation, hesitation and revival. To understand each other, all we have is what comes from our hands, but that does not mean our hands have to be taken for the origin.
