(...) darkness is beautiful. It has tremendous depth, silence, infinity. Light comes and goes; darkness always remains, it is more eternal than light. For light you need some fuel; for darkness no fuel is needed - it is simply there.

tis a majestic thing, The darkness.

One of the most beautiful things to do is to paint darkness, which nevertheless has light in it.

There is nothing like the silence and loneliness of night to bring dark shadows over the brightest mind.

In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.

[...] a darkness shining in brightness which brightness could not comprehend.

There is nothing in the dark that isn't there when the lights are on.

The darkness has it's own light.

Her beauty is best experienced in the dark.

Light is shallow; darkness is infinitely deep. Light is always bounded, it has boundaries. Darkness has no boundaries, it is unbounded. Light comes and goes; darkness always is. When there is light you cannot see it. When light is not there you can see it. But it is always there; you cannot cause it. Light has a cause. You burn the fire, you put on wood. When the wood is finished the light will be gone. It is caused, hence it is an effect. But darkness is not caused by anything, it is not an effect. It is uncaused eternity.

I had always liked darkness. When I was small I was afraid of it if I was alone, but when I was with other I loved it and the change to the world it brought. Running around in the forest or between houses was different in the darkness, the world was enchanted, and we, we were breathless adventurers with blinking eyes and pounding hearts.

When I was older there was little I liked better than to stay up at night, the silence and the darkness had an allure, they carried the promise of something immense. And autumn was my favorite season, wandering along the road by the river in the dark and the rain, not much could beat that.

But this darkness was different. This darkness rendered everything lifeless. It was static, it was the same whether you were awake or asleep, and it became harder and harder to motivate yourself to get up in the morning.

Whenever you see darkness, there is extraordinary opportunity for the light to burn brighter.

There is no greater dark than the dark between the stars.

What darkness to you is light to me
