"What did we do when we unchained this earth from its sun? Whither is it
moving now? Whither are we moving now? Away from all suns? Are we not
plunging continually? Backward, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is
there any up or down left? Are we not straying as through an infinite
nothing?" (Nietzsche, _The Gay Science_).
And you thought the death of God was bad--wait 'til you get a load of the
death of man....

in those days, writers expressed thoughts."
