“The writers of the New Testament seem to have thought that the world was about coming to an end. This world was to be sacrificed absolutely to the next.”

Robert G. Ingersoll (1833–1899) Union United States Army officer

A Christmas Sermon (1890)
Context: I do not remember that one science is mentioned in the New Testament. There is not one word, so far as I remember, about education—nothing about any science, nothing about art. The writers of the New Testament seem to have thought that the world was about coming to an end. This world was to be sacrificed absolutely to the next. The affairs of this life were not worth speaking of. All people were exhorted to prepare at once for the other life.

“There's no end to suspicion once you get going.”

“I'm talking about connections
Between here and there;
All things exist at once
Seems more than we can bear.”

Context: I dreamed I was an animal
In a human world;
Now when I hear big sounds
I cry like a little girl. I'm talking about connections
Between here and there;
All things exist at once
Seems more than we can bear.
