Can you NOT think of the ending of GR?

[Ian Livingston]

It's that darned apocalypse again, that exhibition of the worst in us, in
which we thrill to news of suffering. Yes, we honor the vampire, for the
vampire is us. And when we recoil in horror at human beastliness, we reveal
also that which is good enough to care....

"Less than any man have I  excuse for prejudice; and I feel for all creeds
the warm sympathy of one who has come to learn that even the trust in
reason is a precarious faith, and that we are all fragments of darkness
groping for the sun. I know no more about the ultimates than the simplest
urchin in the streets." -- Will Durant
