One has just been sent out as a biblical dove, has found nothing green, and slips back into the darkness of the Ark
Franz Kafka
Image
But to Sam the evening deepened to darkness as he stood at the Haven and as he looked at the grey sea he saw only a shadow in the waters that was soon lost in the West. There he stood far into the night, hearing only the sigh and murmur of the waves on the shores of Middle-Earth, and the sound of them sank deep into his heart.
J. R. R. Tolkien
Image
I love Twitter. It's like having a closet full of clever friends that you can visit twice a day, then shove back into the darkness when you're tired of them.
Lauren Groff
Image
Life is just one small piece of light between two eternal darknesses.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
This is not my life. These are not my cobwebs. This is not the darkness I was designed for.
Colum McCann
Image
Ay, on the shores of darkness there is a light, and precipices show untrodden green there is a budding morrow in midnight there is triple sight in blindness keen.
John Keats
Image
When the sun sleeps, the darkness awakens! When the shepherd disappears, the wolf appears on the horizon!
Mehmet Murat Ildan
Image
One time on a dive, I wound up drifting up in darkness surrounded by billions of photoluminescent creatures. It was a religious experience, one only a poet could do justice to.
Graham Hawkes
Image
In a profound sense every man has two halves to his being he is not one person so much as two persons trying to act in unison. I believe that in the heart of each human being there is something which I can only describe as a child of darkness who is equal and complementary to the more obvious child of light.
Laurens van der Post
Image
The mere lapse of years is not life. To eat, to drink, and sleep to be exposed to darkness and the light to pace around in the mill of habit, and turn thought into an instrument of trade-this is not life. Knowledge, truth, love, beauty, goodness, faith, alone can give vitality to the mechanism of existence.
James Martineau
Image
I had learned early to assume something dark and lethal hidden at the heart of anything I loved. When I couldn't find it, I responded, bewildered and wary, in the only way I knew how: by planting it there myself.
Tana French
Image
Whenever you see something going well - whenever light begins to chase back the darkness that threatens to engulf our world - look closely. There stands a leader who is holding that candle.
Bill Hybels
Image
Darkness does this. It finds all the places you are hiding in. It finds all the things you are holding onto tightly and makes you let go.
Deb Caletti
Image
Laughter is a powerful weapon for it carries the light. To laugh is to defy the darkness.
Isobelle Carmody
Image
I was in darkness, but I took three steps and found myself in paradise. The first step was a good thought, the second, a good word and the third, a good deed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It often happens that those who spend their time giving light to others, remain in darkness themselves.
Mother Teresa
Image
All cats are grey in the dark.
Thomas Lodge
Image
Caves and darkness can't hold you when you die, they can only hold your bones.
N.D. Wilson
Image
Each day millions of children arrive in American classrooms in search of more than reading and math skills. They are looking for a light in the darkness of their lives, a Good Samaritan who will stop and bandage a bruised heart or ego.
Jim Trelease
Image
Most of us, myself included, have forgotten what real darkness is like. We live in a world where light is inescapable. It comes from street lamps, headlights, security floodlights, and even the faint glow of our alarm clocks. We take it for granted that we can see at all times of day and night.
Jake Halpern
Image
When I cannot see words curling like rings of smoke round me I am in darkness—I am nothing.
Virginia Woolf
Image
When we are ready, [Jesus Christ's] pure love instantly moves across time and space, reaches down, and pulls us up from the depths of any tumultuous sea of darkness, sin, sorrow, death, or despair we may find ourselves in and brings us into the light and life and love of eternity.
John H. Groberg
Image
Superstition! that horrid incubus which dwelt in darkness, shunning the light, with all its racks, and poison chalices, and foul sleeping draughts, is passing away without return. Religion cannot pass away. The burning of a little straw may hide the stars of the sky but the stars are there and will reappear.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
Seek truth! Seek truth in the darkness, under the oceans, above the clouds seek it everywhere and every time! Stop deceiving yourself with the untruth, seek the truth!
