“In a few moments the darkness turned into a greyness ahead, and then, almost  before they dared to begin hoping, they had shot out into the sunlight and were in  the warm, blue world again.
And just as there are moments when simply to lie in bed and see the daylight  pouring through your window and to realize that 'it was only a dream: it wasn't  real,' is so heavenly that it was very nearly worth having the nightmare in order to  have the joy of waking, so they all felt when they came out of the dark. All at once  everybody realized that there was nothing to be afraid of and never had been.”
~ C.S. Lewis, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
