“Why are there stars when there are no people? O God, why don't you just extinguish them?”
Karel Čapek (1890–1938) Czech writer
Cool my brow, ancient night! Divine and fair as you always were — O night, what purpose do you serve? There are no lovers, no dreams. O nursemaid, dead as a sleep without dreams, you no longer hallow anyone's prayers. O mother of us all, you don't bless a single heart smitten with love. There is no love.
R.U.R. (1920)
