“Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweetconfinement of your alonenessto learnanything or anyonethat does not bring you aliveis too small for you.”

“Anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you.”

“When your eyes are tired the world is tired also. When your vision has gone no part of the world can find you. Time to go into the dark where the night has eyes to recognize its own. There you can be sure you are not beyond love. The dark will be your womb tonight. The night will give you a horizon further than you can see. You must learn one thing. The world was made to be free in. Give up on all other worlds except the one to which you belong. Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you. ”

“You are old beyond your years Zoeybird. Believe in yourself and you will find a way. But remember darkness does not always equate to evil just like light does not always bring good.”

“If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in the dark with a mosquito!”

“If you think you are too small to make a difference, you have never been in a dark room with a mosquito”
