A Quote by Gerhard E Frost
Of all the facts I daily live with, there's none more comforting than this; If I have two rooms, one dark, the other light, and I open the door between them, the dark room becomes lighter without the light one becoming darker. I know this is no headline, but it's a marvelous footnote; and comforts me in that.

But I guess he has to figure other stuff out first, like how to keep his neck from flopping all over the place and how to sit up.
What was supposed to be so special about a full moon? It was only a big circle of light. And the dark of the moon was only darkness.

As each one of us awakens, it is like a light going on, followed by another light, another light, and another light.

The dark was still a mystery, something hidden, something to be scared of, but I’d come to fear the light, too. It was where everything was revealed, or seemed to be.

Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. It is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light.
