Here's how the late film director Stanley Kubrick (1928-199) explained his view of life: "The very meaninglessness of life forces man to create his own meaning. … The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it's hostile but that it is indifferent. … However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light."

Editor's Note: Here's another interesting quote about Kubrick's beliefs (and perhaps his longing for God). After his death, his wife Katharina was asked if Stanley Kubrick believed in God. She said, "Hmm, tricky. I think he believed in something, if you understand my meaning. He was a bit of a fatalist actually, but he was also very superstitious … I asked him once after The Shining, if he believed in ghosts. He said that it would be nice if there 'were' ghosts, as that would imply that there is something after death. In fact, I think he said, 'Gee, I hope so.'"

Possible Preaching Angles: Do we have to supply our own light or is Christ the world's true light?
