For as children tremble and fear everything in the blind darkness, so we in the light sometimes fear what is no more to be feared than the things that children in the dark hold in terror and imagine will come true. This terror, therefore, and darkness of mind must be dispelled not by the rays of the sun and glittering shafts of daylight, but by the aspect and law of nature.

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. / Nije problem dijete koje se boji mraka; prava tragedija su odrasli koji se boje svjetla.

Now I ask you.

What do you do in the dark when the monsters come for you?

You musn’t be afraid of the dark.’
‘I’m not,’ said Shadow. ‘I’m afraid of the people in the dark.

Fear can only grow in darkness. Once you face fear with light, you win.

Oh, we can populate the dark with horrors, even we who think ourselves informed and sure, believing nothing we cannot measure or weigh. I knew beyond all doubt that the dark things crowding in on me either did not exist or were not dangerous to me, and still I was afraid. I thought how terrible the nights must have been in a time when men knew the things were there and were deadly. But no, that's wrong. If I knew they were there, I would have weapons against them, charms, prayers, some kind of alliance with forces equally strong but on my side. Knowing they were not there made me defenseless against them and perhaps more afraid.

Fighting fear doesn't work. It just drags us in closer. One has to focus on what is real. On the truth. When in darkness, don't fight it. You can't win. Just find the nearest switch, turn on the light.

The night is dark and full of terrors, and so are dreams.

We believe what we see.’...What do you do when you’re in the dark?

I regard the afterlife to be a fairy story for people that are afraid of the dark

Life's cruelest joke is that the path to the light runs straight through the dark. Everything you want is on the other side of everything that scares you. You must stare into the abyss. You must carve open your soul. You must search for what you've spent your whole life avoiding. Please. There is no other way. Chase your shadow until it stops running from you and shows you what it's been protecting all along. You'll smile when the monster turns out to be a guardian. Then you'll wave goodbye and walk free. You found peace.

It's time. You are light. I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of — Time and Light.
