Quotes about dark
dark light years
Where the light is, and each thing clear,Separate from all others, standing in its place,I drink the time and touch whatever's near,And hope for day when the whole world has that face:For what assures her present every year?In dark accidents the mind's sufficient grace. Delmore Schwartz

I think we, especially in American culture, are so afraid to talk about death. And I'm not talking about literal death. I'm talking about shedding skin.

Anthony Bourdain

Prowling the meanings of a word, prowling the history of a person, no use expecting a flood of light. Human words have no main switch. But all those little kidnaps in the dark.

Suddenly, it's all illuminated and you can see exactly where you were. Then you enter the next dark room... Andrew Wiles

Even after all that rushing around, where we've ended up is the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night. And maybe knowing isn't the point. Where we're standing right now, in the ruins in the dark, what we build could be anything.
dark thinking needs
Maybe I don't need a relationship after all, she thought. Maybe thinking about these conversations was just as good as having them.

This is what being alive feels like, you know? The place doesn't matter. You just live. Chuck Klosterman
