Darkness

Famous quotes containing the word darkness:

“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)

“True Friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance. A want of discernment cannot be an ingredient in it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“And we, with all our wounds and all our powers,
Must each await alone at his own height
Another darkness or another light;”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)
