  • I've always imagined this at the end of a book.

    Because it deals with "the end"

    I'm certainly going to make sure someone reads this at my funeral if I get the chance.

    It is my favourite passage of Dawkins.

  • it would fit nicely at the end but it really captivates the reader to continue reading the book.

    having it read at your funeral is a such a good idea! i think i may have to steal your great idea.

    its one of my favourite passages of Dawkins.

  • I absolutely love this : )

    Richard Dawkins is a kick ass scientist and a brilliant person....ahhhh i'm a little bit in love with him haha!

  • ya he is fucking awesome! i love this ending to his lecture

  • My wife and I have this reading set down for our departures when that time comes...until then LIVE!

  • (First off, I fucking love RD), but did anyone else notice the grammatical error in what he read?  "It is you and I in our ordinariness" should be "It is you and me in our ordinariness". He is brilliant but the editor of his book missed one there.

  • @mexicandruglord

    What about it was nonsense?

  • @jazzx251

    Dawkins even has it earmarked for his own funeral.

    Good stuff. I'm doing the same thing. :)

  • @xnogod That was actually Dawkins' intention

  • What a beautiful and appreciative view of the world and life that makes me so happy to be alive. I am moved to tears every time I hear it.

  • What a load of rambling nonsense LOL

  • this just makes my heart melt , so beautiful . I love him soo much I hope I meet him someday

  • I want this to be read out at my funeral.
