“In a universe of electrons and selfish genes, blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt, other people are going to get lucky, and you won't find any rhyme or reason in it, nor any justice. The universe that we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but pitiless indifference.”
― Richard Dawkins, River Out of Eden: A Darwinian View of Life

“People always ask, Why does God allow suffering? Why does He allow a child to be beaten? A woman to cry? A holocaust to happen? A good dog to die painfully? Simple truth is, He wants to see for Himself what we’ll do. He’s stood up the candle, put the devil at the wick, and now He wants to see if we blow it out or let it burn down. God is suffering’s biggest spectator.”
― Tiffany McDaniel, The Summer that Melted Everything

“All your life, you will be faced with a choice. You can choose love or hate…I choose love.”
― Johnny Cash

“Altijd, het was iets wat niemand je kon geven. Altijd, je mocht het je laten wijsmaken op mooie zomeravonden, maar je deed er toch verstandig aan om dat de volgende morgen weer te herzien. Niemand, werkelijk niemand kon je de eeuwigheid beloven. Zelfs een liefde die gebeiteld was, kon overgaan.”
