I'd like to see the context of that quotation.

Given that the end of life is both tragic and inevitable, I can see a kind of biologic necessity in that statement -- but stories? I'd like to add "tragic, inevitable, but with the possibility of redemption.

By redemption, I mean that the protagonist has in some way changed, thus pushing back the dark just a little more.
