If I must die, I will encounter darkness as a bride, and hug it in mine arms.
And nothing is, but what is not.
This thing of darkness I Acknowledge mine.
A great cause of the night is lack of the sun.
The morning steals upon the night, Melting the darkness.
May never glorious sun reflex his beams Upon the country where you make abode! But darkness and the gloomy shade of death Environ you till mischief and despair Drive you to break your necks or hang yourselves.
And oftentimes, to win us to our harm, The instruments of darkness tell us truths, Win us with honest trifles, to betray's In deepest consequence
So foul and fair a day I have not seen.
This thing of darkness I acknowlege mine. There is nothing more confining than the prison we don't know we are in.
The prince of darkness is a gentleman!
The instruments of darkness tell us truths...
Good with out evil is like light with out darkness which in turn is like righteousness whith out hope.
I say there is no darkness but ignorance.
What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted! Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just, and he but naked, though locked up in steel, whose conscience with injustice is corrupted.
