Religion is the dream of the human mind. But even in dreams we do not find ourselves in emptiness or in heaven, but on earth, in the realm of reality; we only see real things in the entrancing splendor of imagination and caprice, instead of in the simple daylight of reality and necessity.
Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach

Gerhard Richter

Nolan Ryan

Leo Tolstoy

Henry Reed
