Darkness

Famous quotes containing the word darkness:

“Alcohol is barren. The words a man speaks in the night of drunkenness fade like the darkness itself at the coming of day.”
—Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)

“With all this darkness round me I feel less alone.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)

“What makes this Generation of Vermin so very Prolifick, is the indefatigable Diligence with which they apply themselves to their Business. A Man does not undergo more watchings and fatigues in a Campaign, than in the Course of a vicious Amour. As it is said of some Men, that they make their Business their Pleasure, these Sons of Darkness may be said to make their Pleasure their Business. They might conquer their corrupt Inclinations with half the Pains they are at in gratifying them.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
