“If you’ve locked your phone in a drawer, hidden the newspaper down the sofa or unplugged the radio, I wouldn’t blame you. Just glimpsing or half-hearing the headlines can be enough to plunge you into a sinkhole of gloom... All this could lead even a sane person to despair of their fellow human beings and what they are capable of. The urge is strong to run away, to turn off the news and escape.”

Jonathan Freedland

“It’s a reminder of what humans can do, the heights they can reach, the joy they can bring. None of it makes any of the other stuff go away... but it is a useful antidote all the same. No, not useful – essential. For it’s when we feel ourselves plunged into the abyss, when our despair at our fellow human beings pulls strongest, that we most need to look upward – and glimpse the stars.”

Jonathan Freedland
