Things may go so radically and bitterly wrong that the basic convictions on which life is built are shaken, and the very foundations begin to rock and quiver, and the whole edifice threatens to collapse before the assault of the ultimate doubt. That, nothing less, is the really sinister menace - that hour of awful darkness in which the human heart begins to suspect that there is no rationality anywhere, that right and wrong and good and evil are mere figures of speech, not solid and substantial facts; that divine Fatherhood is a myth, and providence an illusion, and any spiritual interpretation of life a fantastic self-deception, and all mans striving purposeless and futile. -- James S. Stewart (The Strong Name, 1941)
