Vanity in a newspaper man is like perfume on a whore; they use it to fend off a dark whiff of themselves.
Julian Paul Assange
Love is like the wild rose-briar; Friendship like the holly-tree. The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms, But which will bloom most constantly?
Emily Jane Bront
Thy way, not mine, O Lord, However dark it be! Lead me by Thine own hand; Choose out the path for me.
Horatius Bonar
His own image; no longer a dark, gray bird, ugly and disagreeable to look at, but a graceful and beautiful swan. To be born in a duck's nest, in a farmyard, is of no consequence to a bird, if it is hatched from a swan's egg.
Hans Christian Andersen
Christ leads me through no darker rooms Than He went through before.
Richard Baxter
While we get ready to rejoin the others and begin war again, the dark and storm-choked sky slowly opens above our heads. Between two masses of gloomy cloud a tranquil gleam emerges; and that line of light, so blackedged and beset, brings even so its proof that the sun is there.
Henri Barbusse
Dark to me is the earth. Dark to me are the heavens. Where is she that I loved, the woman with eyes like stars? Desolate are the streets. Desolate is the city. A city taken by storm, where none are left but the slain.
Wilfrid Scawen Blunt
I was told you either stand or you fall, as long as you know when you walk you holding' hands with a god. That alone can turn the dark to a walk in the park.
Johnson Barnes
Eat in the dark the bargain that you purchased in the dusk.
Ernest Brammah Smith
Thou unrelenting Past! Strong are the barriers round thy dark domain, And fetters, sure and fast, Hold all that enter thy unbreathing reign.
William Cullen Bryant
