Winter Light quotes

  • Tomas Ericsson, Pastor: If there is no God, would it really make any difference? Life would become understandable. And this death would be a snuffing out of life. The dissolution of body and soul. Cruelty, loneliness and fear - all these things would be straightforward and transparent. Suffering is incomprehensible, so it needs no explanation.

  • Tomas Ericsson, Pastor: There is no creator. No sustainer of life. No design.
