Dark Quote by Andy Kaufman
“When you go through a tunnel - you're going on a train - you go through a tunnel, the tunnel is dark, but you're still going forward. Just remember that. But if you're not going to get up on stage for one night because you're discouraged or something, then the train is going to stop. Everytime you get up on stage, if it's a long tunnel, it's going to take a lot of times of going on stage before things get bright again. You keep going on stage, you go forward. EVERY night you go on stage.”

![“I would have to go into the tunnel whether I wanted to or not - the tunnel was the road of going on, and there was more of the road on the other side of it - but the entrance was where [my teacher] had to stop. Inside the tunnel was what I was meant to learn” quote by Margaret Atwood](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/f58/margaret-atwood-40_education_i-would-have-to-go-into-the-tunnel-wheth_61752.jpg)
