“I could have said their sleep is a challenge to us , to wake up….I could have said they sleep in sorrow for us who sleep through so many levels of our lives…they tell us that we, too, are guarding a tomb. We don’t know what’s in it. Perhaps nothing. Perhaps what was once in it has gone. We’re scared to look. But we go on guarding it.”
Paul Griffiths, The Tomb Guardians

“The certainty’s gone, as you say. But that’s exactly what you just said distinguishes our age from theirs. We can’t go back, or pretend we are back. We have to go on from where we are. In doubt.”
Paul Griffiths, The Tomb Guardians
