Quote by Voltaire

To believe in God is impossible; not to believe in Him is absurd.

To believe in God is impossible; not to believe in Him is ab

Summary

This quote by Voltaire highlights the paradoxical nature of the belief in God. According to Voltaire, it is impossible to fully understand or comprehend the existence of God, making belief in God an act of faith rather than reason. On the other hand, rejecting the idea of God completely seems irrational because it would require denying the potential existence of a higher power that humanity has speculated about for centuries. Ultimately, the quote suggests that the nature of God is beyond human comprehension, leaving individuals with the options of embracing faith or dismissing it altogether.

She could see the name Fukamachi on a shiny name-plate by the door of the house, but it was a name that meant nothing to Kazuko. And at that moment, in her heart, she began to dream of meeting someone. Someone special who would one day walk into her life. Someone she would instantly feel she had known for years. Someone who would feel the same about her.

Traveling is a fool's paradise. Our first journeys discover

Traveling is a fool's paradise. Our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places. At home I dream that at Naples, at Rome, I can be intoxicated with beauty, and lose my sadness. I pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea, and at last wake up in Naples, and there beside me is the stern fact, the sad self, unrelenting, identical, that I fled from. I seek the Vatican, and the palaces. I affect to be intoxicated with sights and suggestions, but I am not intoxicated. My giant goes with me wherever I go.
