People in Dark Times

"Even in the darkest of times we have the right to
expect some illumination, and that such
illumination may well come less from
theories and concepts than from the
uncertain, flickering, and often weak
light that some men and women, in their
lives and their works, will kindle
under almost all circumstances and shed
over the time span that was given them
on earth."
--Hannah Arendt (From: Men in Dark Times)
