Famous quotes containing the words eternal and/or darkness:
“That the world is not the embodiment of an eternal rationality can be conclusively proved by the fact that the piece of the world that we know—I mean our human reason—is not so very rational. And if it is not eternally and completely wise and rational, then the rest of the world will not be either; here the conclusion a minori ad majus, a parte ad totum applies, and does so with decisive force.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Abide with me: fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide:”
—Henry Francis Lyte (1793–1847)
