Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

HARDCABB: "...The attempt by Democritus and Newton [and here Dawkins] to quiet our fears and give us back our dispossessed world has only served to make us feel even more dispossessed - and we are right back where we started, just as frightened and crazy as people were at the disintegration of the Ancient and the Medieval worlds. Fortunately, some psychiatrists are beggining to talk about the importance of the problem of meaning in mental illness, and are no longer looking with scorn at the priests. The problem of man in society today is exactly at the point where Judeo-Christianity picked it up at the demise of the Ancient world: namely, how to give back to each individual life the deep sense that it had universal moral significance.
From essay Paranoia in "Angel in Armor: Post-Freudian perspective on the nature of man" (1969) by great scholar Ernest Becker

FLOYDTHEBARBER: Milý Jirko,
být večer vzhůru a koukat se na televizi je to nejhorší prokletí, které na dospělé lidi seslal ďábel. Mým největším úspěchem zatím je, že to ještě nenutí dělat i své děti.
--Pánbůh

As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.
