David Mitchell Quote

Mortality is inscribed in your cellular structure, and you say you’re not ill? Look at the painting. Look at it. She nods towards The Adoration of the Magi. I obey. I always will. Thirteen subjects, if you count them, like the Last Supper. Shepherds, the Magi, the relatives. Study their faces, one by one. Who believes this newborn manikin can one day conquer death? Who wants proof? Who suspects the Messiah is a false prophet? Who knows that he is in a painting, being watched? Who is watching you back?
