“But would you kindly ponder this question: What would your good do if
evil didn't exist, and what would the earth look like if all the shadows
disappeared? After all, shadows are cast by things and people. Here is the

Do you want to strip the earth of all trees and living things just because
of your fantasy of enjoying naked light? You're stupid.”
― The Master and Margarita
