“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.”
“I've always liked the moonless night best. It's easier to say things in the dark. It's easier to be yourself.”
“A silent dark...as black as a moonless lake, as a ravine's wings, darkness there and nothing more, merely this and nothing more...”
“I am terrified by this dark thing that sleeps in me.”
“The Bright Blessed Day, the Dark Sacred Night”
“Only in darkness could the light be so completely, brightly beautiful.”
