“To my mind, faith is like being in the sun. When you are in the sun, can you avoid creating a shadow?”

Yann Martel (1963) Canadian author best known for the book Life of Pi

Context: To my mind, faith is like being in the sun. When you are in the sun, can you avoid creating a shadow? Can you shake that area of darkness that clings to you, always shaped like you, as if constantly to remind you of yourself? You can't. This shadow is doubt. And it goes wherever you go as long as you stay in the sun. And who wouldn't want to be in the sun?

You come to a maze, in the night,
The fading twilight…
And you shiver the glistening path
Where you know you're crazy to go…”
