“It occurs to me to wonder: do I believe in any god, or even positively not believe, as James does? I believe in systems and methods. I believe in the beauties of philosophy and poetry. I believe that the work we do and leave behind us is our afterlife; and I believe that history lies, but sometimes so well that I can't bring myself to resent it. I believe that truth is beauty, but not, I'm afraid, the reverse. It doesn't seem sufficient to sustain one in life's rigorous moments. Perhaps I shall embrace Islam. Its standards for poetry seem very high.” BelieveWellsDoeI CanSometimesPhilosophyMomentsSeemsLyingI BelieveBehindsWonderTruth IsStandardsMethodEmbraceIslamI Believe InSufficientAfterlifeReversePositivelyResentHistory Lies Author:Emma Bull
