Darkness
-
I know how I want to try and live my life. I know I don't want to leave any darkness behind me.
Ali Hewson
-
There is no greater mystery to me than that of light traveling through darkness.
Alexander Volkov
-
I have not been part of an active counterculture movement, as it is not the approach that I have personally pursued to create a qualitatively beneficial and meaningful impact on society. Perhaps, my belief is along the old saying that 'it is always better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.'
Al Seckel
-
Mining created Chile. The story of men who go down into the mountain and chip away at minerals in the darkness and then suffer an accident that leaves them at the mercy of that darkness is part of the DNA of Chile, an integral part of the country's history.
Ariel Dorfman
-
The best pop music is the songs that a group of people can dance to, but you can also listen to in your bed and cry. That's something obviously that The Beatles started and... so having that darkness there opens another door.
Andrew Dost
-
There was a darkness, a melancholy, that people had trouble accepting. Maybe now, it would work better.
Alain Resnais
-
We've all got darkness inside us. And I've got quite a lot of darkness.
Antony Sher
-
I feel that writers think with their noses to the ground, and the dark stuff kind of comes to me more, even though I really am sort of an upbeat guy. It's an honest descent into darkness. And you can't have the joy without the grief - it's why we listen to Mozart's 'Requiem.'
Andre Dubus III
-
The most dangerous part of the race is early evening and especially early morning. It's the twilight zone. Either you're going into darkness and the sun is dropping down, or you're coming out of the darkness and the sun is coming up. At the same time, you've got new drivers coming in and feeling their way around the circuit.
Allan McNish
-
I think a broader audience is really amazing. If there's no need for curse words or darkness, why go there? Why not make it PG?
Allison Schroeder
-
My children have stolen my dreams in a very literal sense. I've lost months in the minutes and hours that Sabine and Zoey have needed me at night, their thin, butterfly-beating hearts pushed against me in the darkness.
Alexi Zentner
-
And introduce an element of cynicism and darkness into it and just realize that we're all vulnerable. We are humans. There is a finite end to this life and we're all going to face it and a little silliness can help.
Alan Thicke
-
Dramatically, I like darkness, I like conflict - but I don't see the world as defined by them.
Andrea Arnold
-
All the characters I play are all inside of me in a way, and they're all different, the darkness, the lightness, whatever that is.
Alexander Skarsgard
-
You must stand for something! It does not have to be grand, but it must be a positive that brings light to someone else's darkness.
Anthony Carmona
-
Gratitude's not a natural posture. The prince of darkness is ultimately a spoiled ingrate, and I've spent most of my life as kin to the fist-shaker.
Ann Voskamp
-
A work will only have deep resonance if the kind of darkness I can generate is something that is resident in me already.
Anish Kapoor
-
The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness.
Vladimir Nabokov
-
The point of conservatism is not that it prevents movement forward and upward, but that it prevents movement backward and downward, into chaotic darkness and a return to a primitive state.
Vladimir Putin
-
Education is the movement from darkness to light.
Allan Bloom
-
Moscow had this incredible, intense atmosphere of intrigue and darkness and secrecy.
Alan Furst
-
Everything doesn't happen for a reason, if by this we mean evil is a part of God's plan. But God does ensure that evil will not prevail and that light will always, ultimately, overcome the darkness. If we follow God's lead, our work is to push back the darkness.
Adam Hamilton
-
God seeks to influence humanity. This is at the heart of the Christmas story. It is the story of light coming into the darkness, of a Savior to show us the way, of light overcoming the darkness, of God's work to save the world.
Adam Hamilton
-
In the total darkness, poetry is still there, and it is there for you.
Abbas Kiarostami
-
The world outside existed in a kind of darkness; and we inquired about nothing.
V. S. Naipaul
-
Most of us are imprisoned by something. We're living in darkness until something flips on the switch.
Wynonna Judd
-
I wondered vaguely if this was when it would end, whether I would pull up tonight's darkness like a quilt and be dead and at peace evermore.
William Manchester
-
But he said Blanket Hill should be a national monument. And so we came out of his chambers feeling, though while we had lost to the powers of darkness, we had at least shown one Federal Judge what the right path would have been.
William Kunstler
-
The moment you enlist in the army of God, you personally become a target. You need to remember that if you're living for and walking with Jesus Christ, the powers of darkness are aligned against you.
Walter Martin
-
As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such a twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air - however slight - lest we become unwitting victims of darkness.
William O. Douglas
-
Civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness.
Werner Herzog
-
Character, like a photograph, develops in darkness.
Yousuf Karsh
-
The lighthearted moments of 'Girls' are really not speckled throughout and that to me is just super exciting, to be able to delve into the darkness that you are greeted with in your early 20s and the fear and what that makes you do, the places that you can potentially go with that.
Zosia Mamet
-
I've played a lot of characters who are creeps or weirdos, with a deep darkness underneath the surface.
Zach Woods
-
Relish everything that's inside of you, the imperfections, the darkness, the richness and light and everything. And that makes for a full life.
Anthony Hopkins
-
I read and walked for miles at night along the beach, writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me.
Anna Quindlen
-
We have a choice about how we take what happens to us in our life and whether or not we allow it to turn us. We can become consumed by hate and darkness, or we're able to regain our humanity somehow, or come to terms with things and learn something about ourselves.
Angelina Jolie
-
There's too much darkness in the world. Everywhere you turn, someone is tryin' to tear someone down in some way; everywhere you go, there's a feeling of inadequacy, or a feeling that you're not good enough. I want to bring a certain light to the world.
Alicia Keys
-
He who busies himself with things other than improvement of his own self becomes perplexed in darkness and entangled in ruin. His evil spirits immerse him deep in vices and make his bad actions seem handsome.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
-
When the past no longer illuminates the future, the spirit walks in darkness.
Alexis de Tocqueville
-
God is not a hypothesis derived from logical assumptions, but an immediate insight, self-evident as light. He is not something to be sought in the darkness with the light of reason. He is the light.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
-
I love a good comedy, but the slapstick sitcom belly-laugh sort of comedy - the multicam thing - is not really where my interests lie. I'm very interested in single-cam, in intimate portraits. I like it when comedies have a little bit of realism and a little bit of darkness to them. It makes them more palatable and more relatable and grounded.
Tara Lynne Barr
-
Everybody has a lot of darkness in them because without that you're not a whole person.
Tom Noonan
-
With whatever talent and resources I have, I'm trying to bring light to penetrate the darkness many people feel.
Thomas Kincade
-
On a deeper level, I think many stories - especially thrillers - can be a journey to the heart of darkness.
Terry Hayes
-
We think of medieval England as being a place of unbelievable cruelty and darkness and superstition. We think of it as all being about fair maidens in castles, and witch-burning, and a belief that the world was flat. Yet all these things are wrong.
Terry Jones
-
It's critical that we use a very dark brush to paint evil. When you bring the light into that darkness as characterized in John 1, that light is very vivid. When it dispels the darkness, we see the brilliance that's there.
Ted Dekker
-
My stories are not Christianized at all. I don't even have any Christians in my stories. What they are, are stories about ordinary people going through extraordinary circumstances in which I'm exploring truth. How light overcomes darkness in a way that's unmistakable to anyone who has any kind of faith.
Ted Dekker
-
It is critical that writers who embrace the light of Christ's redemptive love characterize the darkness arrayed against us in a way that is consistent with its true nature.
Ted Dekker
-
My journey is so similar to everyone else's journey, because we all are human. We all have been defeated by the powers of darkness, and we all find redemption in the light of Christ.
Ted Dekker
