"that which I cannot conceive is not an illusion"

"[A case of contradictories which are true.  God exists : God does not exist.  Where is the problem?  I am quite sure that there is a God in the sense that I am quite sure that my love is not illusory.  I am quite sure that there is not a God in the sense that I am quite sure nothing real can be anything like what I am able to conceive when I pronounce this word [(nom)].  But that which I cannot conceive is not an illusion.]"

"[. . . Mais cela que je ne puis concevoir n’est pas une illusion.]"
