"Saying the universe is eternal simply is saying that it has no beginning or end, not that it had a beginning an infinite time ago"

Previous Quote

I must have justice, or I will destroy myself. And not justice in some remote and infinite time and space, but here on Earth...I want to see with my own eyes the lamb lie down with the lion and the victim rise up and embrace his murderer. I want to be there when everyone suddenly understands what it has all been about. All the religions of the world are built on this longing, and I am a believer.

— Fyodor Dostoevsky
