"We believe life is eucatastrophic: a joyous catastrophe."

plagiarizing Tolkien... hmmm?

"The echoes of this optimism are reflected in an orchard of fantastic quests and people with whom his fantasy writings are concerned. These themes converge in what Tolkien coined "eucatastrophe", that "peculiar quality of the 'joy' in successful fantasy (which) can be explained as a sudden glimpse of the underlying reality or truth." (Lang Lecture on Fairy Tales)."
