Darkness Quotes (page 63)

His eyebrows arched under a single, pensive line and his eyes themselves were imprinted with deep sadness, behind which from time to time could be seen dark flashes of misanthropy and hatred. Alexander Dumas
In battle, in forest, at the precipice in the mountains, On the dark great sea, in the midst of javelins and arrows, In sleep, in confusion, in the depths of shame, The good deeds a man has done before defend him. J. Robert Oppenheimer
Yet even so the darkness thickened, until it covered his eyes and filled his nose and stopped his ears, so he could not see or smell or hear or run, and the grey cliffs were gone and the dead horse was gone and his brother was gone and all was black and still and black and cold and black and dead and blac? George R. R. Martin
Carolus Linnaeus quote: "When the spiritual light is concentrated in the brain,..."
When the spiritual light is concentrated in the brain, everything else must be sinking in the dark. Carolus Linnaeus
Very deep things in our nature, some dim sense of the dependence of great things upon small, some dark suggestion that the things nearest to us stretch far beyond our power, some sacramental feeling of the magic in material substances, and many more emotions past fading out, are in an idea like that of the external soul. The power even in the myths of savages is like the power in the metaphors of poets. The soul of such a metaphor is often very emphatically an external soul. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Each narrow cell in which we dwell. Is a foul and dark latrine, And the fetid breath of living Death. Chokes up each grated screen, And all, but Lust, is turned to dust In Humanity's machine. Oscar Wilde
Cold be hand and heart and bone, and cold be sleep under stone: never more to wake on stony bed, never, till the Sun fails and the Moon is dead. In the black wind the stars shall die, and still on gold here let them lie, till the dark lord lifts his hand over dead sea and withered land. J. R. R. Tolkien
Now,” she told them, “now is the time to be afraid of the dark.” Richard knew that something was about to creep over his face. He closed his eyes: it made no difference to what he saw or felt. The night was complete. Neil Gaiman
Stories are in one way or another mirrors. We use them to explain to ourselves how the world works or how it doesn’t work. Like mirrors stories prepare us for the day to come. They distract us from the things in darkness. Neil Gaiman
Oh, he’ll try, I’m sure. . . . The usual empty words, the usual slithering out of action . . . oh, on the Dark Lord’s orders, of course! J. K. Rowling
William Shakespeare quote: "War is no strife To the dark house and the detested wife."
War is no strife To the dark house and the detested wife. William Shakespeare
In the deserted harbour there is yet water that laps against the quays. In the dark and silent forest, there is a leaf that falls. Behind the polished panelling the white ant eats away the wood. Nothing is ever quiet, except for fools Alan Paton
For a moment everything was clear, and when that happens, you see that the world is barley there at all. Don’t we all secretly know this? It’s a perfectly balanced mechanism of shouts and echoes, pretending to be wheels and cogs. A dream clock chiming beneath a mystery-glass we call life. Behind it? Below it and around it? Chaos, storms. Men with hammers, men with knives, men with guns. Women who twist what they cannot dominate, and belittle what they cannot understand. A universe of horror... Stephen King
Robert Frost quote: "The woods are lovely, dark and deep..."
The woods are lovely, dark and deep... Robert Frost
Stephen King quote: "Come down and eat chicken with me beautiful. It's soooo dark."
Come down and eat chicken with me beautiful. It's soooo dark. Stephen King
