Famous quotes containing the words black and/or abyss:
“In night when colours all to black are cast,
Distinction lost, or gone down with the light;
The eye—a watch to inward senses placed,
Not seeing, yet still having power of sight—
Gives vain alarums to the inward sense”
—Fulke Greville (1554–1628)
“We run heedlessly into the abyss after putting something in front of us to stop us seeing it.”
