The material world is not all there is.

Anybody who goes through life with an open mind and heart will encounter moments that are saturated with meaning, but whose meaning cannot be put into words. These moments are precious to us.  When they occur, it is as though, on the winding, ill-lit stairway of our life, we suddenly come across a window, through which we catch sight of another and brighter world - a world to which we belong but which we cannot enter.  There are many who dismiss this world as an unscientific fiction.  I am not alone in thinking it real and important. - Sir Roger Scruton

If we find ourselves with a desire which nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world. - C.S. Lewis
