Two Quotes

Date: 13th April 2012

I’m writing a piece on the role of spiritualism in the mountains. I’m about as spiritual as a tin can, so I’ve had to research the idea some. The piece is likely doomed to failure, but I have run into some good quotes:

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.” –Marcus Aurelius

And

“The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death — however mutable man may be able to make them — our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.” -Stanley Kubrick
