Quotes About Darkness

~ Isaac Asimov
Life would be impossible on such a planet. It wouldn't get enough heat and light, and if it rotated there would be total darkness half of every day. There wouldn't be any native inhabitants.

No, nothing could exist under conditions like that.
~ Isaac Asimov
Night will always be a time of fear and insecurity, and the heart will sink with the sun.

He was going mad and knew it, and somewhere deep inside a bit of sanity was screaming, struggling to fight off the hopeless flood of black terror. It was very horrible to go mad and know that you were going mad -- to know that in a little minute you would be here physically and yet all the real essence would be dead and drowned in the black madness. For this was the Dark -- the Dark and the Cold and the Doom.
~ Isaac Asimov
With the slow fascination of fear, he lifted himself on one arm and turned his eyes toward the blood-curdling blackness of the window. Through it shone the stars! Not Earth's feeble thirty-six hundred Stars visible to the eye; Lagash was in the center of a giant cluster. Thirty thousand mighty suns shone down in a soul-searing splendor that was more frighteningly cold in its awful indifference than the bitter wind that shivered across the cold, horribly bleak world.
~ Isaac Asimov
Gecenin bast?rmas?, kökleri insanl?k tarihinin baÅŸlar?na kadar uzanan büyük bir psikolojik huzursuzluk yarat?r. Gece daima bir güvensizlik ve korku zaman?d?r ve cesaret güneÅŸle birlikte bat?p gitmiÅŸtir.
~ Isaac Asimov
Celebro que los ingenieros no hayan inventado todavía el robot que pueda trabajar en la oscuridad total. Me horrorizaría encontrar siete robots en un pozo negro sin radiocomunicación, si no estuviesen iluminados como árboles de Navidad radiactivos.
~ Isaac Asimov

~ Isaac Asimov
In the half darkness I winked to my other self, my mad dictator, and congratulated him on his droll victory. I closed my eyes and felt the warmth flowing from Shosha's head to my face. What did I have to lose? Nothing more than what everyone loses anyway.
~ Isaac Bashevis Singer
But my gloom did not lessen. I knew that I'd had a bad dream, and I stood in the dark trying to recollect it. The second I closed my eyes, I was with the dead. They did things words cannot express. They spoke madness. (Hanka)
~ Isaac Bashevis Singer
But to the last question, Zelig replied, he probably flew to beyond the Dark Regions, where people don't go and cattle don't stray, where the sky is copper, the earth iron, and where the evil forces live under roofs of petrified toadstools and in tunnels abandoned by moles.
~ Isaac Bashevis Singer

~ Isabel Allende
Una cortina de tinieblas oculta el mundo fantástico donde antes me paseaba libremente.
~ Isabel Allende
Neantul este plin de toate lucrurile universului. E neant si, in acelasi timp, e totul. Lumina sacramentala si intuneric nepatruns. Sunt neantul, sunt tot ce este, sunt in fiecare frunza, in fiecare picatura de roua, in fiecare graunte de cenusa purtat de ape, sunt Paula si sunt eu insami, nu sunt nimic si sunt totul, in viata asta si in celelalte, sunt nemuritoare.
~ Isabel Allende
