The Dark Quotes

Someone who left me in the dark
Someone who darkened me
A million times over”

“You might be afraid of the dark, but the dark is not afraid of you. That's why the dark is always close by.

The dark peeks around the corner and waits behind the door, and you can see the dark up in the sky almost every night, gazing down at you as you gaze up at the stars.

Without a creaky roof, the rain would fall on your bed, and without a smooth, cold window, you could never see outside, and without a set of stairs, you could never go into the basement, where the dark spends its time.

Without a closet, you would have nowhere to put your shoes, and without a shower curtain, you would splash water all over the bathroom, and without the dark, everything would be light, and you would never know if you needed a lightbulb.”
― Lemony Snicket, The Dark

“I know what to do

“The plane shook
and it scared her
not because she
was scared to fall
but because she cared
so little
if she did.”
