“Like most hearts, it was complicated, shaded with dark and dappled with light.”
“Even though it's dark and cold there is always a shade of light.”
“For lunch, we drove into the hills and parked in the dappled shade of a big sycamore, its powdery white bark like a woman's body against the uncanny blue sky.”
“Of all the things that God has made, the human heart is the one which sheds the most light, alas! and the most darkness.”
“Anyone who does not acknowledge the darkness in his nature will succumb to it...the lamp of conviction needs to be shaded by doubt, or it burns with a blinding light.”
“Outside everything was uncannily visible in the light of the full moon, but here in the dark shaded alleys the night was conscious of itself. ("The Moon Slave")”
