“But supposing one believed [in God] and was wrong after all? Why, then you would have paid the universe a compliment it doesn’t deserve. Your error would even so be more interesting and important than the reality. And yet how could that be? How could an idiotic universe have produced creatures whose dreams are so much stronger, better, subtler than itself?” —C.S.Lewis (as quoted in Sheldon Vanauken’s [i:7e2df62b0b]A Severe Mercy[/i:7e2df62b0b])
