Martin Amis on Agnosticism
← Back to Martin Amis Profile
“Belief is otiose; reality is sufficiently awesome as it stands.”
“I say that I am an agnostic. People think that's pusillanimous and covering your bets. But it's not based on any belief or yearning for an afterlife but on the fact that we actually know so little about the cosmos. It is a tribute to the complexity and, at our present stage of development, the unknowability of the universe.”
