Something I found... pertinent.
Three panels from Alan Moore's comic "Watchmen" involving a discussion between Doctor Manhattan and Ozymandias. In the first panel, Manhattan is musing to himself about creating life, and Ozymandias asks, "Jon, wait, before you leave... I did the right thing, didn't I? It all worked out in the end." In the next panel, Jon responds, ""In the end?" Nothing ends, Adrian. Nothing ever ends." Ozymandias expresses confusion, but before he can get an answer, the third panel shows that Doctor Manhattan has vanished.

Out of the night that covers me,
      Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
      For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
      I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
      My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
      Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
      Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
      How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
      I am the captain of my soul.
