Where has God gone?” [the madman asked] “I shall tell you. We have killed him – you and I. We are his murderers. But how have we done this? How were we able to drink up the seas? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What did we do when we unchained the earth from its sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving now? Away from all suns? Are we not perpetually falling? Backwards, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there any up or down left? Are we not straying as though through Infinite nothing? Where is God? God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we, murders of all murders, console ourselves?” --Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science: with a Prelude in Rhymes and an Appendix of Songs --Painting: Father Jofré Protecting a Madman by Joaquín Sorolla
