“Far better that false hope should lull you,Than that sheer blackness yawn at you”
“The light lulls you into a false sense of security. But if the dark should come suddenly and silently, you’d stand out like black on night.”
“Better by far you should forget and smile than that you should remember and be sad”
“Better to know the quick pain of truth than the ongoing pain of a long-held false hope.”
“It is better to pursue a hopeless hope than to give in to black despair.”
“For if the darkness and corruption leaveA vestige of the thoughts that once I had,Better by far you should forget and smileThan that you should remember and be sad.”
