Quotes About Darkness

g??vums, bez šaub?m, ir viens no visbriesm?g?kajiem netikumiem.
~ Mikhail Bulgakov
Oh, soltanto colui che è stato vinto sa che significhi questa parola! Essa assomiglia a una sera in una casa in cui si sia guastata la luce elettrica, assomiglia a una stanza sulle cui tappezzerie si diffonde una muffa verde piena di vita insana. Assomiglia a dei bambini rachitici indemoniati, all'olio marcio, a una bestemmia oscena pronunciata da voci femminili nell'oscurità. Insomma, assomiglia alla morte.
~ Mikhail Bulgakov
Tout à coup on perd pied dans les ténèbres fangeuses du sommeil, mais un tressaillement, et on refait surface aussitôt.

Living for Sabina meant seeing. Seeing is limited by two borders: strong light, which blinds, and total darkness. Perhaps that was what motivated Sabina's distaste for all extremism. Extremes mean borders beyond which life ends, and a passion for extremism, in art and in politics, is a veiled longing for death.
~ Milan Kundera

~ Milan Kundera
Darkness attracted him as much as light. He knew that these days turning out the light before making love was considered laughable, and so he always left a small lamp burning over the bed. At the momemnt he penetrated sabina, however, he closed his eyes. The pleasure suffusing his body called for darkness. The darkness was pure, perfect, thoughtless, vision less; that darkness was without end, without borders; that darkness was the infinite we each carry within us.
~ Milan Kundera
But the larger a man grows in his own inner darkness, the more his outer form diminishes.
~ Milan Kundera
Für Sabina bedeutet Leben Sehen. Das Sehen wird durch zwei Pole begrenzt: das grelle, blendende Licht und das absolute Dunkel. […] Extreme markieren Grenzen, hinter denen das Leben zu ende geht, und die Leidenschaft für Extreme, in der Kunst wie in der Politik, ist eine verschleierte Todessehnsucht.
~ Milan Kundera
The darkness was pure, perfect, thoughtless, visionless; that darkness was without end, without borders; that darkness was the infinite we each carry within us.
~ Milan Kundera
Sabe que en nuestro tiempo se considera ridículo apagar la luz mientras se hace el amor y por eso deja encendida una pequeña lámpara encima de la cama. Pero cuando penetra a Sabina, cierra los ojos. El gozo que le inunda requiere oscuridad. Esa oscuridad es pura, limpia, sin imágenes ni visiones, esa oscuridad no tiene final, no tiene fronteras, esa oscuridad es el infinito que cada uno de nosotros lleva dentro de sí
~ Milan Kundera
El gozo que le inunda requiere oscuridad. Esa oscuridad es pura, limpia, sin imágenes ni visiones, esa oscuridad no tiene final, no tiene fronteras, esa oscuridad es el infinito que cada uno de nosotros lleva dentro de sí. (¡En efecto, quien busque el infinito, que cierre los ojos!)
~ Milan Kundera
Un hombre con los ojos cerrados es una ruina de hombre.
~ Milan Kundera

~ Ray Bradbury
We that change, hate change. And we that pass, love what abides. Ashes, darkness, dust.
~ Reginald Horace Blyth
She tells her love while half asleep, In the dark hours, With half-words whispered low: As Earth stirs in her winter sleep And puts out grass and flowers Despite the snow, Despite the falling snow.
