“To make God responsible for everything is to make humanity responsible for nothing, which is to make human existence meaningless, which is to make God's judgement of our existence meaningless, which is to make God's existence meaningless.”
― Nolen Gertz, Nihilism

“যাহাকে ভালবাসি, সে যদি ভাল না বাসে, এমন কি ঘৃণাও করে, তাও বোধ করি সহ্য হয়, কিন্তু যাহার ভালবাসা পাইয়াছি বলিয়া বিশ্বাস করিয়াছি, সেইখানে ভুল ভাঙ্গিয়া যাওয়াটাই নিদারুন। পূর্বেরটা ব্যথাই দেয়, কিন্তু শেষেরটা ব্যথাও দেয়, অপমানও করে। আবার এ ব্যথার প্রতিকার নাই, এ অপমানের নালিশ নাই।”

“Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand. Paul Ehrenfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933. Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics.”
― David L. Goodstein, States of Matter

“Existentialism reveals that in trying to avoid responsibility, we end up avoiding freedom, and that in trying to avoid death, we end up avoiding life. Nihilism is thus seen as the result of our fear of death, and so the more we flee from death, the more nihilistic we become. To say that life is meaningless, as the existentialists do, is not to advocate nihilism but to combat it.”
― Nolen Gertz, Nihilism
