However Vast the Darkness, We Must Supply Our Own Light

Posted on August 25, 2011 by admin

Stanley Kubrick in his 1968 interview with Playboy:

The most terrifying fact of the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent; but if we can come to terms with this indifference and accept the challenges of life within the boundaries of death — however mutable man may be able to make them — our existence as a species can have genuine meaning and fulfillment.
However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.

I’m recommending the statistics course for John at SFSU.
