But what will become of men then? I asked him, without God and immortal life?

Только как же, спрашиваю, после того человек-то? Без бога-то и без будущей жизни?

Another quote from the 1880s

The truth is, that the law is always approaching, and never reaching, consistency. It is forever adopting new principles from life at one end, and it always retains old ones from history at the other, which have not yet been absorbed or sloughed off. It will become entirely consistent only when it ceases to grow.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
