Quotes About Darkness

Hell at last … John Milton, Paradise Lost

And on God's palette are the colors of the world, and one of those colors is black. So I will not fear the darkness, for it is of God's making as death is another part of his grand design. My soul will walk in the darkness and shadows and marvel at the night sky. Death is but a journey back to the canvas of my God. —Requiem

and at last there was nothing but darkness, and in the darkness the ecstasy, and after the ecstasy, death and life.

Ellos ríen. Verse reír los vuelve locos de alegría. Ella le pide que la avise cuando un día se lance a amarla y a saberlo, si alguna vez sucede. Después de haber reído, lloran juntos como cada día. Cuando ella se va el sol se precipita, estalla en la habitación. Cuando ella cierra la puerta, la habitación cae en la oscuridad, y el entra ya en la espera de la noche

Ses yeux sont veloutés comme seuls les yeux sombres le sont, or les siens sont d'eau morte et de vase mêlées, rien n'y passe en ce moment qu'une douceur ensommeillée.

De nacht. Schrijven is de nacht.

de más en más me interesaba el mundo oscuro de la sensación, negra noche donde fulguran y ruedan soles enceguecedores...

La ville sans pitié ignore les crépuscules : le jour noircit d'un seul coup, comme une ampoule brûlée qui ne verse plus de lumière

Roses are red. Blood is too…

All the better to bite you, my dear!

For all I know, the guy is Dracula.

Life was getting dark around the edges. It was like he was moving through a tunnel that was becoming narrower and blacker and more choked and airless, and soon there would be nothing left for him to breathe and no room for him to move.

For a moment Ethan simply stares. Before him is the monster of his nightmares: his sister's murderer, the beast who robbed him of his greatest love. How easy, how fulfilling would it be to take Marduk's life? But the arrow in Ethan's fingers slips to the ground. No. even revenge is too great an honor for you. As the night falls and brings an end to this long day of darkness, Marduk inhales his last staggered breath and his body turns to stone.

I push throughthe wind to the north-facing window and stand before it. 'I will bring her back!' I shout into the darkness. I do this because I know Rhauk will be listening.

Until we have met the monsters in ourselves, we keep trying to slay them in the outer world. And we find that we cannot. For all darkness in the world stems from darkness in the heart. And it is there that we must do our work.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us...There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you...We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

How odd that we spend so much time treating the darkness, and so little time seeking the light. The ego loves to glorify itself by self-analysis, yet we do not get rid of darkness by hitting it with a baseball bat. We only get rid of darkness by turning on the light.

The ego is our pain, but it is what we know and we resist moving out of it.  The effort it takes to grow out of painful patterns often feels more uncomfortable than remaining within them.  Personal growth can be so painful because it can make us ashamed and humiliated to face our own darkness.   But the goal of personal growth is the journey out of dark emotional patterns which cause us pain to those which cause us peace.

Light is to darkness what love is to fear; in the presence of one, the other disappears. All the darkness in my life—the fears, neuroses, dysfunctions, and diseases—are not so much things as the absence of things. They represent not the presence of a problem but rather the absence of the answer. And the answer is love. All fearful manifestations disappear in the presence of love.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

La oscuridad es simplemente la ausencia de luz, y el miedo no es más que la ausencia de amor. No

Las tinieblas son una invitación a la luz, que insta a nuestros espíritus a avanzar.
