Famous quotes containing the word darkness:

    Look at your lake, Christine. You’ll love it here, when you get used to the dark. And you’ll love the dark, too. It’s friendly. And peaceful. It brings rest and relief from pain. It’s right under the Opera. The music comes down and the darkness distills it, cleanses it of the suffering that made it, then it’s all beauty and life here is like a resurrection.
    Eric Taylor, and Leroux. Arthur Lubin. Erique Claudin (Claude Rains)

    So forth and brighter fares my stream,—
    Who drink it shall not thirst again;
    No darkness stains its equal gleam,
    And ages drop in it like rain.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    [Christianity] says that men are in darkness and estranged from God, that he has hidden himself from their knowledge, that this is in fact the name which he gives himself in the Scriptures, Deus absconditus.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
