Meet the Austins

"'What is the meaning of human life, or, for that matter, the life of any living creature? To know an answer to this question means to be religious. You ask: Does it make any sense, then, to post this question? I answer: the man who regards his own life and that of his fellow creatures to be meaningless is not merely unhappy but hardly fit for life.'" - Albert Einstein, "Meet the Austins", Madeline L'Engle
