But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.»
«Hope is faith holding out its hand in the dark.»

«Men are like a fine wine. They all start out like grapes, and it's our job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something you'd like to have dinner with.»
«I reached for sleep and drew it round me like a blanket muffling pain and thought together in the merciful dark.»
«Into each life some rain must fall, some days must be dark and dreary.»
«May you have warm words on a cold evening, a full moon on a dark night and a smooth road all the way to your door.»
«If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.»
