But what of faith? What of fidelity and loyalty? Complete trust? Faith is not granted by tangible proof. It comes from the heart and the soul. If a person needs proof of god's existence, then the very notion of spirituality is diminished into sensuality and we have reduced what is holy into what is logical.- Drizzt Do'urden R.A. Salvatore
About This Quote

By saying that faith is not granted by tangible proof, Drizzt Do’urden is saying that faith doesn’t come from tangible proof. Faith is the belief in something that cannot be proven. The spiritual life has nothing to do with rationalism or logic. It is about living in the realm of the unknown, the intangible, the invisible.

It is about believing that something lies beyond the known world of matter and energy. It is about trusting that there are forces that are beyond our perceptions, forces that are mystical and incomprehensible.
