And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.” —Genesis 1:2–5 ESV “Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival." —C.S.
