Famous quotes containing the word darkness:

    Lo! thy dread empire, Chaos! is restor’d;
    Light dies before thy uncreating word:
    Thy hand, great Anarch! lets the curtain fall;
    And universal darkness buries all.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    Sometimes we have to go through the darkness alone, before we can see the light.
    —Adele Comandini. Edward Sutherland. Michael O’Brien (Charles Winninger)

    A Dungeon horrible, on all sides round
    As one great Furnace flam’d, yet from those flames
    No light, but rather darkness visible
    Serv’d only to discover sights of woe,
    Regions of sorrow, doleful shades, where peace
    And rest can never dwell, hope never comes
    That comes to all; but torture without end
    John Milton (1608–1674)
