Darkness


 “You might try then, as I did, to find a sky so full of stars it will blind you again. Only no sky can blind you now. Even with all that iridescent magic up there, your eye will no longer trace constellations. You’ll care only about the darkness and you’ll watch it for hours, for days, maybe even for years, trying in vain to believe you’re some kind of indispensable universe-appointed sentinel, as if just by looking you could actually keep it all at bay. It will get so bad you’ll be afraid to look away, you’ll be afraid to sleep.”

 Darkness is only driven out with light, not more darkness.

 I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all.
  Richard Wright

  Terry Pratchett

 The depth of darkness to which you can descend and still live is an exact measure of the height to which you can aspire to reach.
  Sophocles

 To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don't worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest
