When the invocation descends into the heart, if there is darkness within, it illuminates it; and if there is already light, the invocation increases the light and intensifies it. ~ Ibn Ata Allah
Darkness Within quotes by Ibn Ata Allah
I finally realized that it's possible to love within a space that sometimes holds nothing but emptiness.. or nothing but darkness.
After all, we all have darkness within us.
Some of us more than others. ~ T.M. Frazier
Darkness Within quotes by T.M. Frazier
embrace and fully 'excavate' our Shadow, the seeming darkness within. Only by fully honoring all aspects of our journey (every wound, every person, every trauma) can we begin to accept and eventually honor all of who we are." - JOHN POLLARD, ~ Jeff Brown
Darkness Within quotes by Jeff Brown
Only that issues from ourselves which we ourselves extract from the darkness within ourselves and which is unknown to others. ~ Marcel Proust
Darkness Within quotes by Marcel Proust
For woman is yin, the darkness within, where untempered passions lie. And man is yang, bright truth lighting our minds. ~ Amy Tan
Darkness Within quotes by Amy Tan
I hoped to get instruction in Yoga, expected wonderful teachings, but what the teacher did was mainly to force me to face the darkness within myself and it almost killed me ... I was beaten down in every sense until I had to come to terms with that in me which I kept rejecting all my life. ~ Irina Tweedie
Darkness Within quotes by Irina Tweedie
The world of the grotesque is the darkness within us. Well before Freud and Jung shined a light on the workings of the subconscious, this correlation between darkness and our subconscious, these two forms of darkness, was obvious to people. It wasn't a metaphor, even. If you trace it back further, it wasn't even a correlation. Until Edison invented the electric light, most of the world was totally covered in darkness. The physical darkness outside and the inner darkness of the soul were mixed together, with no boundary separating the two. They were directly linked. Like this." Oshima brings his two hands together tightly. "But today things are different. The darkness in the outside world has vanished, but the darkness in our hearts remains, virtually unchanged. Just like an iceberg, what we label the ego or consciousness is, for the most part, sunk in darkness. And that estrangement sometimes creates a deep contradiction or confusion within us. ~ Haruki Murakami
Darkness Within quotes by Haruki Murakami
The greatest enemy we can face is ourselves, and the greatest battle is against the darkness within. ~ Derek Landy
Darkness Within quotes by Derek Landy
Is that you?" came Shurq's voice from the darkness within.
"Why yes," Bugg said, "it is."
"Liar. You're not you, you're Bugg. Where's Tehol? I need to talk to Tehol. ~ Steven Erikson
Darkness Within quotes by Steven Erikson
Preaching love disguised as hate is worst than screaming aloud to the world the darkness within you ~ Mark W. Boyer
Darkness Within quotes by Mark W. Boyer
There were many stories of girls - brave girls, foolish girls, reckless girls, pretty girls - who went into the woods searching for fortune or adventure, only to encounter a monster. Whether man or beast, the monster served as an allegory for all the things that could befall a girl who strayed from the path. If she were valorous and her heart was pure, the stories said, she could rise above being brought low by hubris.

But the stories never talked about the other girls - the ones who never came out of the woods and found themselves an unwilling bride to the venal darkness within those trees. The girls whose virtue was not quite enough to resist the seasoned allure of the wicked villain and who, as a result, found that men, like beasts, could devour the unwary, and that it could feel so good to be consumed. ~ Nenia Campbell
Darkness Within quotes by Nenia Campbell
Remember that you have a choice in what you see. If you choose to see a person's darkness, you strengthen your darkness within. If you choose to see their light, you shine from the inside out. ~ Gabrielle Bernstein
Darkness Within quotes by Gabrielle Bernstein
Helplessly
I am consumed
Into the darkness of your soul
Wanton eyes lured me
Dangerously to your abyss
Where I needed to lose myself
Just to find your world
Helplessly
I am consumed
- Into the Darkness - ~ Mystqx Skye
Darkness Within quotes by Mystqx Skye
In each thrust, I pray... that I may be able to fill that longing she has in her soul. Giving her body if even only a few seconds of respite - as she forgets the void from embracing everything in my beastly world... ~ Mystqx Skye
Darkness Within quotes by Mystqx Skye
Our power knows no limits, yet we cannot find food for a starving child, or a home for a refugee. Our knowledge is without measure and we build the weapons that will destroy us. We live on the edge of ourselves, terrified of the darkness within. We have harmed, corrupted and ruined, we have made mistakes and deceived. ~ John Le Carre
Darkness Within quotes by John Le Carre
It's not easy, but do it anyway

It's not easy to love,
when you get resentment in return.
Love anyway...

Its not easy to forgive,
when you get hurt in return.
Forgive anyway...

It's not easy to be kind,
when you get rudeness in return.
Be kind anyway...

It's not easy to empathise,
when you are judged in return.
Empathise anyway...

It's not easy, but do it anyway...
Let your light shine in the lives
of those around you.
And one day it will brighten
their hearts and overpower
the darkness within. ~ Henna Sohail
Darkness Within quotes by Henna Sohail
It wasn't the darkness that killed people. It was the people who carried the darkness within them that did. ~ Angela Panayotopulos
Darkness Within quotes by Angela Panayotopulos
My dear friend, If you've spent time with me, don't be surprised when I tell you this darkness within me comes from you. ~ Anangsha Alammyan
Darkness Within quotes by Anangsha Alammyan
It was like something lurking in the darkness within him ... There is remained in the darkness, the great pain, tearing him at times, and then being silent. ~ D.H. Lawrence
Darkness Within quotes by D.H. Lawrence
Ever desireless, one can see the mystery. Ever desiring, one can see the manifestations. These two spring from the same source but differ in name; this appears as darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gate to all mystery. ~ Laozi
Darkness Within quotes by Laozi
Darkness within me rejoiced for the opportunity of seeing the bodies up close, in the state the murderer had intended them to be discovered. ~ Kerri Maniscalco
Darkness Within quotes by Kerri Maniscalco
Liz Emerson held so much darkness within her that closing her eyes didn't make much a difference at all. ~ Amy Zhang
Darkness Within quotes by Amy Zhang
And so I step up, int the darkness within; or else the light. ~ Margaret Atwood
Darkness Within quotes by Margaret Atwood
As Hamlet said to Ophelia, "God has given you one face, and you make yourself another." The battle between these two halves of identity...Who we are and who we pretend to be, is unwinnable. "Just as there are two sides to every story, there are two sides to every person. One that we reveal to the world and another we keep hidden inside. A duality governed by the balance of light and darkness, within each of us is the capacity for both good and evil. But those who are able to blur the moral dividing line hold the true power. ~ Emily Thorne
Darkness Within quotes by Emily Thorne
There is darkness without and when I die there will be darkness within. There is no splendor, nor vastness anywhere; only triviality for a moment and then nothing. ~ Bertrand Russell
Darkness Within quotes by Bertrand Russell
The darkness within her called to me. It's been my destruction and my savior, because it brought me to this woman and kept me coming back for more. ~ H.M. Ward
Darkness Within quotes by H.M. Ward
When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone; nay, God is within, and your genius is within. And what need have they of light to see what you are doing? ~ Epictetus
Darkness Within quotes by Epictetus
Darkness within clouds the world without. ~ Anasazi Foundation
Darkness Within quotes by Anasazi Foundation
The only way to fight the darkness around us is to light a fire within us. ~ Seth Adam Smith
Darkness Within quotes by Seth Adam Smith
You carry darkness within you, be brave. ~ Elancharan Gunasekaran
Darkness Within quotes by Elancharan Gunasekaran
As I see it, every love has in the beginning a ray of light in it, but the lovers destroy that. They jump on that ray of light with all their darkness within. They jump on it and they destroy it. When it is destroyed they think it was false. They have killed it! It was not false --- they are false. The ray was real, true. ~ Osho, Love, Freedom, And Aloneness : The Koan Of Relationship
Darkness Within quotes by Osho, Love, Freedom, And Aloneness :  The Koan Of Relationship
You will be chained to the darkness within yourself as surely as if chained to the walls of a prison cell. ~ Sabaa Tahir
Darkness Within quotes by Sabaa Tahir
If one sides with pickpockets by saying, 'what's wrong with what he is doing? He doesn't have any food so of course he'll pick pockets!' Now even when he is not a pickpocket himself, by supporting such actions, he will become a pick pocket in his next life. The poor man, although he makes the mistake in ignorance (in darkness, within), the price he will pay in brightness [that can be seen with 5 senses, the outer world]. ~ Dada Bhagwan
Darkness Within quotes by Dada Bhagwan
The sun that shines today is the sun that shone when thy father was born, and
will still be shining when thy last grandchild shall pass into the darkness. ~ George S. Clason
Darkness Within quotes by George S. Clason
They don't really know him, not the dark and scary parts, but then again they don't know those places in me. Only he does. Only he has seen the darkness. Only he embraces the darkness inside of me and turns it into love and light. ~ Tara Brown
Darkness Within quotes by Tara Brown
Love hurts.

Think back over romance novels you've loved or the genre-defining books that drive our industry. The most unforgettable stories and characters spring from crushing opposition. What we remember about romance novels is the darkness that drives them. Three hundred pages of folks being happy together makes for a hefty sleeping pill, but three hundred pages of a couple finding a way to be happy in the face of impossible odds makes our hearts soar. In darkness, we are all alone.

So don't just make love, make anguish for your characters. As you structure a story, don't satisfy your hero's desires, thwart them. Make sure your solutions create new problems. Nurture your characters doubts and despair. Make them earn the happy ending they want, even better…make them deserve it. Delay and disappointment charge situations and validate character growth. Misery accompanies love. It's no accident that many of the stories we think of as timeless romances in Western Literature are fiercely tragic: Romeo and Juliet, Tristan and Isolde, Cupid and Psyche… the pain in them drags us back again and again, hoping that this time we'll find a way out of the dark.

Only if you let your characters get lost will we get lost in them. And that, more than anything else, is what romance can and should do for its protagonists and its readers: lead us through the labyrinth, skirt the monstrous despair roaming its halls, and find our way into daylight. ~ Damon Suede
Darkness Within quotes by Damon Suede
Every human being is a mixture of light and darkness, trust and fear, love and hate. ~ Jean Vanier
Darkness Within quotes by Jean Vanier
Don't fight the darkness. Don't even worry about the darkness. Turn on the light and the darkness goes. Turn up that light of pure consciousness: Negativity goes. ~ David Lynch
Darkness Within quotes by David Lynch
That night I think we were trying to fight against death, against boredom and banality, against everything that made us cry and stare at our futures full in the face with dread. We drank and played games to be in the now, to be in each moment as hard as we could, because the moment was all that mattered, at the end of it all. I remember I felt intoxicated on life and darkness. I felt powerful. It was the most natural thing in the world. This was why we were alive– to be powerful and free. ~ Laure Eve
Darkness Within quotes by Laure Eve
Rian Malan was one of the first younger writers to perceive and write about a darkness in the South African psyche that goes deeper than mere politics. To some extent, that's my territory, too. ~ Damon Galgut
Darkness Within quotes by Damon Galgut
There is a darkness in you, something that gives you immense strength. ~ Marie Lu
Darkness Within quotes by Marie Lu
No man has the courage to approach her or initiate questions she herself rise, for all men fear a fascist and she can very well be a fascist's wife. ~ Mie Hansson
Darkness Within quotes by Mie Hansson
You must bring light to places of darkness. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Darkness Within quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
When darkness fell, he told me to close my eyes and dream, for in my dreams I would find another world, and in my waking life I would soon enough find such a world as well ... ~ Alice Hoffman
Darkness Within quotes by Alice Hoffman
On the day when you again allow abominable men to confiscate your freedom, your money, your lives, your private property, your manhood and your sacred honor, in the name of "security' or "national emergency' you will die, and never again shall you be free. If plotters again destroy your Republic, they will do it by your greedy and ignorant assent, by your disregard of your neighbors' rights, by your apathy and your stupidity. We were brought to the brink of universal death and darkness because we had become that most contemptible of people -- an angerless one. Keep alive and vivid all your righteous anger against traitors, against those who would abrogate your Constitution, against those who would lead you to wars with false slogans and cunning appeals to your patriotism. ~ Taylor Caldwell
Darkness Within quotes by Taylor Caldwell
Fate deals you a hand, and you play the hand you are dealt. You do not whine, you do not complain. That, he used to believe, was his philosophy. Why then can he not resist these plunges into darkness? ~ J.M. Coetzee
Darkness Within quotes by J.M. Coetzee
She would fill the world with it, with her light-her gift. She would light up the darkness, so brightly that all who were lost or wounded or broken would find their way to it, a beacon for those who still dwelled in that abyss. It would not take a monster to destroy a monster-but light, light to drive out the darkness.
She was not afraid. ~ Sarah J. Maas
Darkness Within quotes by Sarah J. Maas
When I was your age, I would go to plays all the time, just sit in the darkness and try to take it all in inside me. Contain everything in some corner of my heart so that when I had my shot, it could all come pouring out - all the lights and moments and colour. ~ Brenna Ehrlich
Darkness Within quotes by Brenna Ehrlich
I am often on guard over the Russians. In the darkness one sees their forms move like stick storks, like great birds. They come close up to the wire fence and lean their faces against it. Their fingers hook round the mesh. ~ Erich Maria Remarque
Darkness Within quotes by Erich Maria Remarque
God is Light, not darkness. God is Love, not hate. God is truth, not untruth. God alone is great. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Darkness Within quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
As you entered the room the thing drew your eyes: you turned sharply as to a sound, expecting movement. But it was marble, it could not move. And when you tore your eyes away and turned your back on it at last, you got again untarnished and high and clean that sense of swiftness, of space encompassed; but on looking again it was as before: motionless and passionately eternal - the virginal breastless torso of a girl, headless, armless, legless, in marble temporarily caught and hushed yet passionate still for escape, passionate and simple and eternal in the equivocal derisive darkness of the world. Nothing to trouble your youth or lack of it: rather something to trouble the very fibrous integrity of your being. ~ William Faulkner
Darkness Within quotes by William Faulkner
Humans crave the comfort of company when in the darkness. Not darkness of vision, which they have trained themselves over long centuries and millennia to endure and overcome. But the darkness of soul. The darkness of spirit which cries out for help, for assurance that there is brightness in the dark, even if that brightness is only the spark of another human life. For where there is life there is always a small measure of hope. ~ Michaelbrent Collings
Darkness Within quotes by Michaelbrent Collings
All I know is a door into the dark ~ Seamus Heaney
Darkness Within quotes by Seamus Heaney
When I want to move, I remember death, how it is ultimate and inevitable, and pure. Then I am free to move properly in life. It's like a man who wants to think, going and standing in front of a window. The space purifys ones' soul. And death is a window to me, with the darkness outside. And when I stand there, looking out, then the world and its active life seems only like a roomful of racket and light behind me, where I am taking part for a time, but not staying for long. It does not contain me and confine me. When I stand peacefully looking out on death, what is true in my soul disengages itself and is free and clear and untrammeled, I know what to do, I am sure, and free, and glad. Then I can turn into the world again"...

"When one stands in front of the darkness, and knows that one's own life will pass away there also, into the darkness...then, in the peace that accompanies this knowledge, one can declare simply that the existing world of man is base and wrong, and must go, we know that our lives contain the inception of a new earth.."

..."Remembering death, I know the life of the world as it is now is not living, it is a bad process of dying. And what we must live for is a new world of life. It doesn't matter when we die, so long as we live fulfilling the deepest desire that is in us. And a life which is a denial of the deepest desire is much worse than any death, it is a sheer lie."

"If one accepts death and knows that nothing can take u ~ D.H. Lawrence
Darkness Within quotes by D.H. Lawrence
In the movie I was played by an actor who actually looked more like me than the character the author portrayed in the book: I wasn't blond, I wasn't tan, and neither was the actor. I also suddenly became the movie's moral compass, spouting AA jargon, castigating everyone's drug use and trying to save Julian. (I'll sell my car," I warn the actor playing Julian's dealer. "Whatever it takes.") This was slightly less true of Blair's character, played by a girl who actually seemed like she belonged in our group-- jittery, sexually available, easily wounded. Julian became the sentimentalized version of himself, acted by a talented, sad-faced clown, who has an affair with Blair and then realizes he has to let her go because I was his best bud. "Be good to her," Julian tells Clay. "She really deserves it." The sheer hypocrisy of this scene must have made the author blanch. Smiling secretly to myself with perverse satisfaction when the actor delivered that line, I then glanced at Blair in the darkness of the screening room. ~ Bret Easton Ellis
Darkness Within quotes by Bret Easton Ellis
Night falls; the traveler must pass down village streets, between the houses with yellow- lit windows, and on out into the darkness of the fields. Each alone, they go west or north, towards the mountains. They go on. They leave Omelas, they walk ahead into the darkness, and they do not come back. The place they go towards is a place even less imaginable to most of us than the city of happiness. I cannot describe it at all. It is possible that it does not exist. But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
Darkness Within quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Momentary happiness is worse than permanent misery. ~ Ahmed Mostafa
Darkness Within quotes by Ahmed Mostafa
His eyes are unfathomably sad as he lifts my chin. "Most people," Cain says, "are nothing but glimmers in the great darkness of time. But you, Helene Aquilla, are no swift-burning spark. You are a torch against the night - if you dare to let yourself burn." "Just ~ Sabaa Tahir
Darkness Within quotes by Sabaa Tahir
Up ahead are a forest of searchlights. A thicket of long thin smoking beams pivoting back and forth. Stabbing at the darkness. Making of the sky a kind of dome as though V Victor is about to enter some supernatural cathedral of light. ~ Glenn Haybittle
Darkness Within quotes by Glenn Haybittle
I lived in the dark so as not to be blinded when darkness came. Rehearse the pain to dull the pain. Homeopathically. ~ Andre Aciman
Darkness Within quotes by Andre Aciman
Once again your mind explodes with a searing pain. A floodgate of memories bursts wide. Yet it is her face that keeps haunting you. Always her face. Who is she? Then things begin to crystallize. You remember your funeral. Begging and pleading for someone to release you from the darkness. You're not dead. You can't be. Then you feel her presence. Warm, caring, soothing. But somewhere deep inside she feels empty now. She has no reason. No meaning. No soul. But your soul lives. While her's is dying. ~ Todd McFarlane
Darkness Within quotes by Todd McFarlane
Evil exists in this world because it has its place. For had you never sat blindly through the darkness of night, your eyes wouldn't turn toward the sunrise to appreciate its warmth and illumination. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Darkness Within quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
Even those afraid of the dark must live through half of each day as night, to come to see the beauty in each. ~ Johnathan Jena
Darkness Within quotes by Johnathan Jena
Only Light can drive away the shadows, Darkness can never be diminished by more darkness. ~ Raymond D. Longoria Jr.
Darkness Within quotes by Raymond D. Longoria Jr.
Christians have a real chance to change the society that is I darkness, to help every person see the light of God's love ~ Sunday Adelaja
Darkness Within quotes by Sunday Adelaja
They coil around each other, the light and the darkness, and they absorb each other continuously, yet they never cancel each other out. ~ Tom Robbins
Darkness Within quotes by Tom Robbins
And as the morning steals upon the night, melting the darkness, so their rising senses begin to chase the ignorant fumes that mantle their clearer reason. ~ William Shakespeare
Darkness Within quotes by William Shakespeare
People of the world, the time for decision is short. It is measured in a few years. The choice is ours as to whether or not we will pay the price of peace. If we are not willing to pay it, all that we hold dear will be consumed in the flame of war. The darkness in our world today is due to the disintegration of things which are contrary to God's laws. Let us never say hopelessly this is the darkness before a storm; rather let us say with faith this is the darkness before the dawn of the golden age of peace, which we cannot now even imagine. For this, let us hope and work and pray. ~ Peace Pilgrim
Darkness Within quotes by Peace Pilgrim
It was written I should be loyal to the nightmare of my choice. ~ Joseph Conrad
Darkness Within quotes by Joseph Conrad
Hearing her voice was like seeing the sun after weeks of darkness. ~ Jordan Silver
Darkness Within quotes by Jordan Silver
Because in loving his darkness I found my own. ~ Lidia Yuknavitch
Darkness Within quotes by Lidia Yuknavitch
The degradation which characterizes the state into which you plunge him by punishing him pleases, amuses, and delights him. Deep down he enjoys having gone so far as to deserve being treated in such a way. ~ Marquis De Sade
Darkness Within quotes by Marquis De Sade
All ears yearn for a voice to lead them through darkness. ~ Pierce Brown
Darkness Within quotes by Pierce Brown
Neferre swallowed hard. "The elder used to tell stories of dark places in dark times," she said, picking the needle through with black nails, "when the winters were endless and the sun fell cold across the land. When beasts far worse than the crags prowled the shadows. And there were no humans. Only elvkarin and the night. We knew the bitter sting of winter's breath and it never ended as it ends now. We called it Isaria on Evile. A Time of Darkness. ~ Ash Gray
Darkness Within quotes by Ash Gray
Clutching our crystals and religiously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in steep decline, unable to distinguish between what's true and what feels good, we slide, almost without noticing, into superstition and darkness. ~ Carl Sagan
Darkness Within quotes by Carl Sagan
Well the days of community policing were over. The world was a bottleful of sparkling darkness and cops the ones charged with keeping the cork in while the rich shook and shook. ~ Sunil Yapa
Darkness Within quotes by Sunil Yapa
You can't fight light by using darkness. ~ Sercan Leylek
Darkness Within quotes by Sercan Leylek
In the end, I listen to my fear. It keeps me awake, resounding through the frantic beating in my breast. It is there in the dry terror in my throat, in the pricking of the rats' nervous feet in the darkness. Christian has not come home all the night long. I know, for I have lain in this darkness for hours now with my eyes stretched wide, yearning for my son's return. ~ Ned Hayes
Darkness Within quotes by Ned Hayes
A darkness lies behind us, and we have turned our backs upon it, and we do not desire to return thither even in thought. Westwards our hearts have been turned, and we believe that there we shall find Light. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Darkness Within quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
The meaning of conservatism is not that it impedes movement forward and upward, but that it impedes movement backwards and downwards - to chaotic darkness and the return to a primitive state. ~ Nikolai Berdyaev
Darkness Within quotes by Nikolai Berdyaev
There is great joy in darkness.
Deepen it. ~ Sanai
Darkness Within quotes by Sanai
