Janine R PestelFriends don't let friends go to hell."- Johann Gunter in "The Bucktown Babies
About This Quote
In the play “The Bucktown Babies,” Johann Gunter gives his dying friend, Hubertus, a message to his friends. He quotes a line from John Stuart Mill’s poem, “I Tustain My Own Scepticism About God”: “Even if all the gospels were proved to be false, they would still be true as far as they go.” That idea of enduring one’s skepticism is important in life because it can help you to grow and to open yourself up to new ideas. It can even help you to hear information from others who might not have been your friend before.
