Today's Agnostic Text
Today's Agnostic Text
In response to pressure from the Rationalist (dare we say "rational"?) quarter or this University, "Salient" has decided to devote a small space in each issue to the publication of a famous quotation relating to the Agnostic Philosophy. Today's text is:
"I am too firm in my consciousness or the marvellous to be ever fascinated by the mere supernatural, the fabrication of insensitive minds, a manufactured article."
—Joseph Conrad.
From the author's Note: "The Shadow Line." Unlike Biblical quotations, this does not require an interpretation to be forced on it.
