“However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.”
Stanley Kubrick (1928–1999) American film director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer and editor
Interviewed by Eric Nordern, Playboy (September 1968); later published in Stanley Kubrick: Interviews (2001) http://books.google.com/books?id=iOU9bIlnPHIC&pg=PA73&lpg=PA73&dq=however+vast+darkness+supply+light&source=web&ots=WSx0cc_E1n&sig=OMT0-SOVCFtSN8a1WosgIR1PMWA <br class="br">Context: 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 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.
“In the light, we read the inventions of others; in the darkness we invent our own stories.”

Context: Here are two kinds of light, the light on the hither side of the darkness and the light beyond the darkness. We must press on through the darkness and the terror of it if we would reach the holier light beyond.
We are here — no matter who put us here, or how we came here — to fulfil a task. We cannot afford to go of our own volition until the last item of our duty is discharged.
“Never doubt God in the darkness what he has given us in the light.”

Context: Suddenly there was a great burst of light through the Darkness. The light spread out and where it touched the Darkness the Darkness disappeared. The light spread until the patch of Dark Thing had vanished, and there was only a gentle shining, and through the shining came the stars, clear and pure.
