“Ford!” Arthur said, “there’s an infinite number of monkeys outside who want to talk to us about this script for Hamlet they’ve worked out.”

“It’s twilight,” Edward murmured. [...] “It’s the safest time of day for us,” he said, answering the unspoken question in my eyes. “The easiest time. But also the saddest, in a way … the end of another day, the return of the night. Darkness is so predictable, don’t you think?” He smiled wistfully.
“I like the night. Without the dark, we’d never see the stars.”
(Twilight, Stephenie Meyer)

“Isn’t it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive–it’s such an interesting world. It wouldn’t be half so interesting if we know all about everything, would it? There’d be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

(The Fellowship of the Ring, J.R.R. Tolkien)
