I just discovered Tim Minchin:
“Isn’t this enough? Just this world? Just this? Beautiful, complex, wonderfully unfathomable natural world? How does it so fail to hold our attention that we have to diminish it with the invention of cheap manmade myths and monsters? If you’re so into your Shakespeare, lend me your ear: to gild refined gold, to paint the lilly, to throw perfume on the violet, is just fucking silly.”
