“Yet this should not minimize our sacred endeavors in this world of ours, where, like faint glimmers of light in the dark, we have emerged for a moment from the nothingness of dark unconsciousness of material existence.

― Arthur Conan Doyle, The New Revolution: My Personal Investigation of Spirituality
