William Kingdon Clifford Quotes
It Cannot Be Doubted That Theistic Belief Is A Comfort And A Solace To Those Who Hold It, And That The Loss Of It Is A Very Painful Loss. It Cannot Be Doubted, At Least, By Many Of Us In This Generation, Who Either Profess It Now, Or Received It In Our Childhood And Have Parted From It Since With Such Searching Trouble As Only Cradle-faiths Can Cause. We Have Seen The Spring Sun Shine Out Of An Empty Heaven, To Light Up A Soulless Earth; We Have Felt With Utter Loneliness That The Great Companion Is Dead.
