Something that sums it up so beautifully
Quote:
"The only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is
atheism. It is not a creed. Death is certain, replacing both the
siren-song of Paradise and the dread of Hell. Life on this earth, with
all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more
intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure,
feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want
nothing more."

the Non-believer

Also one of my favorite images of him.
