the one question

When, in our whole lives, did we honestly face, in solitude, the one question on which all turned: whether after all the Supernatural might not in fact occur? - The Great Divorce, Pg 13.

господибожемой

"I am not trying to make any point," said the Spirit. "I am telling you to repent and believe." - Ibid.

но лучше всего pg. 19. как всегда, отрицательные герои - самые убедительные. This account of the matter struck me as uncomfortably plausible. I said nothing.

а вот и теория искусства, pg 29:
"When you painted on earth-at least in your earlier days-it was because you caught glimpses of Heaven in the earthly landscape. The success of your painting was that it enabled others to see the glimpses too. But here you are having the thing itself. It is from here that the messages came. There is no good telling us about this country, for we see it already. In fact we see it better than you do."
