Default The cradle rocks above an abyss..

“The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness.”

Vladimir Nabokov



Being human is realising the above and religion is created to counter this knowledge and pretend that we never die.

How do you feel about the quote?


I got it from an excellent radio clip by the Author William Boyd. You can listen below and its well worth a listen.
