"The problem of darkness does not exist for the man gazing at the stars.
No doubt the darkness is there, fundamental, pervasive, and unconquerable
except at the pinpoints where the stars twinkle; but the problem is not why
there is such darkness, but what is the light that breaks through it so
remarkably; and granting this light, why we have eyes to see it and hearts
to be gladdened by it."
-- George Santayana
