Quotation of the Day for January 25, 2014



"When we killed - or exiled - God, we also killed ourselves. Did we notice that sufficiently at the time? No God, no afterlife, no us. We were right to kill Him, of course, this long-standing imaginary friend of ours. And we weren't going to get an afterlife anyway. But we sawed off the branch we were sitting on. And the view from there, from the height-even if it was only the illusion of a view-wasn't so bad."

- Julian Barnes, in The Levels of Life.
