“Without darkness, nothing comes to birth, As without light, nothing flowers.”

“They say there is no light without dark, no good without evil, no male without female, no right without wrong. That nothing can exist if it's direct opposite does not also exist.”

“Nothing comes without a price.”

“Darkness is a defining characteristic of Rotters. But it’s worthy to remember that darkness is just that—it’s dark—and what is being concealed in the dark is not just the horrible and fearsome, it’s also the inspirational and moving. Horror means nothing without happiness; dark means nothing without light. Rotters may make you feel scared, but hopefully it will also make you simply feel. It’s that kind of book, or at least I hope it is.”

“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.”
