“He who succeeds without books is in an inconsolable darkness, on a mountain without company, on a path without a crosier, in darkness without a guide.”
“Without the light, no chance; without the dark, no dance.”
“Without reading, we are all without light in the dark, without fire in the cold.”
“For I must tell you that we artists cannot tread the path of Beauty without Eros keeping company with us and appointing himself as our guide.”
“Without darkness, nothing comes to birth, As without light, nothing flowers.”
“Without sacrifice, there is no freedom. Without freedom, there is no life. God bless them who give their all for us.” From Dark Rising.”
