Francis Spufford Quotes

You Ask For Help And You Get Nothing: On A Conscious Level You May Have Decided That There Was Nobody There To Help, But Less Consciously, Since You Did Ask, It Feels As If Help Was Denied. Hence The Angry Edge That Sometimes Sharpens Disbelief When It's Been Renewed By One Of These Episodes Of Fruitless Asking. In The Words Of Samuel Beckett, "He Doesn't Exist, The Bastard!" The Life Of Faith Has Just As Many He-doesn't-exist-the-bastard Moments As The Life Of Disbelief. Probably More Of Them, If Anything, Given That We Believers Tend To Return To The Subject More Often, Producing Many More Opportunities To Be Disappointed.
