Additional quotes by Eric Maisel

Let others find themselves alike,
My will is obstinately I.
My winter blinds are wide to winds
And long, in cold,
My curtains fly.

That is what is in our hearts when we conclude that the universe is meaningless. We don’t doubt that it has order, but we recognize that it is not our parent, our sponsor, or our caretaker.

There are so many believers with good hearts! But that doesn’t make their belief systems any less faulty or, ultimately, dangerous.

We are on the threshold of understanding a shining idea: that each life can have meaning, even if the universe has none. - Eric Maisel
