Quote - polish

"Mankind can never get rid of the need for religious self-identification:

who am I, where did I come from, where do I fit in, why am I responsible, what does my life mean? how will I face death?  

Religion is a paramount aspect of human culture. Religious need cannot be ex-communicated from culture by rationalist incantation. Man does not live by reason alone."

- Polish philosopher Leszek Kolakowski, 1927-2009
