The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent. But if we can come to terms with this indifference, then our existence as a species can have genuine meaning. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.
-Stanley Kubrick
We know we are more than just neurons firing. Or, at least we think we are, while the neurons are firing.
– Unknown (to me at least.)
Oh, we can populate the dark with horrors, even we who think ourselves informed and sure, believing nothing we cannot measure or weigh. I know beyond all doubt that the dark things crowding in on me either did not exist or were not dangerous to me, and still I was afraid.
– John Steinbeck, Travels With Charley: In Search Of America.
