“The darkness that surrounds us cannot hurt us. It is the darkness in your own heart you should fear.”

“Like children in a dark room, like wayfarers passing a graveyard at night, the four men in the canoe filled the surrounding darkness with the fear from their own hearts.”

“It is only the darkness in our own hearts that will defeat us, in the end.”

“So you should be able to see them clearly in your imagination. We always find it easier to visualize what we fear; it's what keeps us afraid of the dark." -Virginia Dare.”

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

“Make up a story... For our sake and yours forget your name in the street; tell us what the world has been to you in the dark places and in the light. Don't tell us what to believe, what to fear. Show us belief's wide skirt and the stitch that unravels fear's caul.”
