A sentiment captured in Frank Herbert's novel "God Emperor of Dune", where Leto Atreides II - the God-Emperor - commanded his distraught servant Moneo to "Look upward!" into the sky above, then told him "There is no reassuring ceiling over you - only an open sky full of changes. Every sense you possess is an instrument for reacting to change. Does that tell you nothing?"
