Darkness Quote by Renee Carlino

““Been looking for a way to get home, it seems there’s no directions left for me. I’ll follow the trail on my own, and hope that something sets me free. The darkness falls fast without warning, just left with my soul to captain me. But there’s someone waiting for me in the morning, pulling me into the light so I can see. He knows my face in the darkness, he knows my hopes, my reverie. But he’s waiting for me to find him, so that I can set him free. So I let go and let him in. Everything dissipates into feeling, we allow our souls to meet. We’re the static in the chaos, the one thing… the something so sweet””

“When Tyler got to my apartment, he looked disappointed. Scowling and shaking his head, he said, “What are you wearing?” I had on a red T-shirt that said “Sup” on it and black jeans. “I like this shirt. What’s wrong with it?” “Don’t you have any shirts that don’t have writing on them?” I walked back to my room, tore…

“Narrative cannot sustain formlessness any more than light can sustain darkness - it is the antithesis of formlessness, and so it can never truly communicate it.

When you're scared - and I mean really scared, not just hearing a noise in the night, or standing toe to toe with someone twice your size who wants to pound you into the earth - it feels as if you're being injected with darkness.

I guess he'll have to figure out someday that he is supposed to have this dark side, that it is part of what it means to be human, to have the darkness just as much as the light- that in fact the dark parts make the light visible; without them, the light would disappear. But I guess he has to…
