“There is the darkness of a moonless night out of doors, and there is the darkness of a house with its shutters closed and the lamps quenched. There is the darkness of sleep, relieved by the bright images of dreams. But no darkness is as complete, as blanketing, as terrifying as the utter darkness of underground.”

“And as I watched him, I knew that in every dark night there was, somewhere, a small light burning that could never be quenched.”

“Even in that time of utter darkness, somewhere deep inside me the memory of love and goodness had stayed alive.”

“The warmth of his embrace soaked into me, a powerful charm against the dark things.”

“There is no good or evil, save in the way you see the world. There is no dark or light save in your own.”

“Wake the sleeper must, and confront his fears, or risk being lost in the dark places of the mind forever.”

“You cannot poison what is between us with your foul words. She is my light in the darkness and Johnny is my pathway ahead.”
