Darkness

Famous quotes containing the word darkness:

“I say there is no darkness but ignorance.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“When I consider the clouds stretched in stupendous masses across the sky, frowning with darkness or glowing with downy light, or gilded with the rays of the setting sun, like the battlements of a city in the heavens, their grandeur appears thrown away on the meanness of my employment; the drapery is altogether too rich for such poor acting. I am hardly worthy to be a suburban dweller outside those walls.”
—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)
