The dark is generous. Its first gift is concealment: our true faces lie in the dark beneath our skins, our true hearts remain shadowed deeper still. But the greatest concealment lies not in protecting our secret truths, but in hiding from us the truths of others. The dark protects us from what we dare not know.

Its second gift is comforting illusions: the ease of gentle dreams in night's embrace, the beauty that imagination brings to what would repel in day's harsh light. But the greatest of its comforts is the illusion that the dark is temporary: that every night brings a new day. Because it is day that is temporary. Day is the illusion.

Its third gift is the light itself: as days are defined by the nights that divide them, as stars are defined by the infinite black through which they wheel, the dark embraces the light, and brings it forth from the center of its own self.

--With each victory of the light, it is the dark that wins.--



The dark is generous, and it is patient, It is the dark that seeds cruelty into justice, that drips contempt into compassion, that poisons love with grains of doubt.

The dark can be patient, becuase the slightest drop of rain will cause those seeds to sprout.

The rain will come, and the seeds will sprout, for the dark is the soil in which they grow, and it is the clouds above them, and it waits behind the star that gives them light.

---The dark's patience is infinite.---



You killed her because, finally, when you could have saved her, when you could have gone away with her, when you could have been thinking about her, you were thinking about yourself ...It is in this blazing moment that you finally understand the trap of the dark side, the final cruelty of the sith -- because now your self is all that you will ever have.



Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

Your playing small doesn't serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were all meant to shine as children do

it is not in some of us: it's in everyone.

And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.



The dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins. It always wins because it is everwhere. It is in the wood that burns in your hearth, and in the kettle on the fire; it is under your chair and under your table and under the sheets on your bed. Walk in the midday sun and the dark is with you, attached to the soles of your feet.

--The brightest light casts the darkest shadow.--

Dance like no one's watching, sing like no one's listening and live every day like your last
~Irish Proverb

It is better to light a small candle than to curse the darkness
~Chinese Proverb [slightly slaughtered, I don't remember the real one]

Be the change you wish to see in the world.
~Ghandi

Laugh the next day. If you knock the lead unconcious, laugh the next day. If you get water on the hero prop (main prop; the scene is based around it), laugh the next day. If you bring the flat up with the weights still on it, laugh the next day. After you repair it, of course. ~My old crewhead

It takes less dark colors to darken the paint than you think. Consequently, you need more light colors when you want to lighten the paint. ~My other old crewhead

Everyone needs something that they can brag about about. ~My friend.

and now for a few bible verses. Just a forwarning.

1 For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: 2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; 3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.
~Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

4 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; 5 it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away
~1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Lunny, you said those words several times in other Serious Discussion posts, why start a new topic? The problem is that many of the quotes are too ambiguous, and could mean many different things if interpreted by different people. The symbolism of "light" and "dark" got repetitive.

This is only half the quote. The other half is that "...and I'm not so sure about the universe."

And one that I made up:

The reason nobady like to think outside the box is because everyone's to afraid to go outside and see what's out there. Besides, it's a dark and scary world out there.

Another one I saw:
"Of course I'm out of my mind. It's dark and scary in there!!!!"
- A sticker I saw once.

Addition:

"Cross the river before you tell the alligator has smelly breath."
- Something Mei Ling said on Metal Gear Solid (possibly altered it's been a while since I played it.)

"You laugh at me because im different, I laugh at you because your all the same"
~ modern day quote

"Stand you for what you think is right, even if that means your standing alone"

"Never give up, trust your instincts!" ~Peppy from Star Fox

"The wisest follow their own direction"

"I don't need to be wanted, I want to be needed"

"A Person Who Asks A Question Is A Fool For Five Minutes, A Person Who Doesn't Is A Fool Forever"

"You know you are in love when you can't sleep because your reality is better than your dreams"

"If life kicks you in the butt. Kick it back."

"Only dead fish *go with the flow*"

"No matter how dark the night, morning will come." ~Lulu FFX

"Cowards die thousands of deaths, but the brave only taste death once."

A couple of mine: "Do you really think im crazy?!? Well you made the right choice."

"Everybody is the same, there's too many of us, except me, I killed my twin before I was legaly alive happy.gif ."

"My life has more meaning than anyone here realises, your meaning plunders like your thoughts of me."

"If you give up, you never wanted to win in the first place"

What i live by: Warriors live, dream, love and die, but they do all in the between, they fight for what they believe is right, they fight to live, for their dreams, for their love, and they fight for it till their death, but do not fear death, because a warrior's courage overcomes death. You are a warrior. For you life IS worth living.
