If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.

  • -- C. S. Lewis C.S.刘易斯

如果整个宇宙没有意义,我们就永远不会发现它没有意义:就像如果宇宙中没有光,因此没有眼睛的生物,我们就永远不会知道它是黑暗的。黑暗将没有意义。
