“Even if it isn’t true, you must absolutely assume there is no afterlife. You cannot for one second abrogate the responsibility of believing that this is it, because if you think you’re going to have an eternity in which you can talk to Mozart and Chopin and Schopenhauer on a cloud and learn stuff and really get to grips with knowledge and understanding… you won’t bother now. I think it’s a terrible, terrible mistake.”—Stephen Fry (via earlyfrost)
