The Mother Quotes in Surfacing
If you tell your children God doesn’t exist they will be forced to believe that you are the God, but what happens when they find out you are human after all, you have to grow old and die?
From any rational point of view I am absurd; but there are no longer any rational points of view.
I willed it, I called to them, that they should arrive is logical; but logic is a wall, I built it, on the other side is terror.
No gods to help me now, they’re questionable once more, theoretical as Jesus. They’ve receded, back to the past, inside the skull, it is the same place.
