Thomas Ligotti Quotes

We Aspire To Omniscience, But Should We Ever Actually Become Omniscient What Would Be The Point In Continuing To Exist? The Game Would Be Over And Done. No Mystery Would Be Left To Lend Our Lives A Mystique, And Without This Mystique Everything We Do Would Be Reduced To Numbers We Could Look Up In A Computer File And Have No Need To Puzzle Over. We Would Be Victorious . . . And Bored To Death. Everything Having To Do With Humanity And Nonhumanity Would Hit A Wall And Come To A Stop. We Seem To Have Set Out On An Expedition Whose Success Would Be Our Ruin. The Only Way Out, Perhaps, Would Be To Fashion Creatures Less Knowing Than Ourselves And Exist Through Them. What Humiliation, What Pathos That We Should Ever End Up As Gods. Is There Nothing That Can Bring Us Into Reconciliation With The Cancer Of Existence?
