Where the agnostics are buried..
April 3, 2018
“This cemetery of Small Gods was for the people who didn’t know what happened next. They didn’t know what they believed in or if there was life after death, and, often, they didn’t know what hit them. They’d gone through life being amiably uncertain, until the ultimate certainty had claimed them at the last. Among the city’s bone orchards, the cemetery was the equivalent of the drawer marked ‘misc.’ – where people were interred in the glorious expectation of not very much.”
– Terry Pratchett, from his Discworld novel, “Night Watch.”
