“There's beauty and darkness in everything: Sorrow in joy, life in death, throns on the roses. You can't escape pain and torment anymore then you can give up joy and beauty...”

“At that moment I remembered something Cal had told me: that there is beauty in darkness in everything. Sorrow in joy, life and death, thorns on the rose. I knew then that I could not escape pain and torment any more than I could give up joy and beauty”

“There is beauty and darkness in everything. Sorrow in joy, life in death, thorns on the rose.”

“For there to be light, there must be darkness. For there to be joy, there must be sorrow. For there to be beauty, there must be the grotesque.”

“There is darkness in light, there is pain in joy, and there are thorns on the rose.”

“There is a moment when all things can be beautiful, heroic. That moment when life defies death and defeat ... Life and death can be beautiful, and noble, when you fight for your life, but also when you give it up without compromise.”
