The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche once wrote that when you look into the darkness of the abyss the abyss looks into you. Probably no other line or thought more inspires or informs my work.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.
From a good book, I want to be taken to the very edge. I want a glimpse into that outer darkness.
The darkness is really out there. It's not something that's in my head, just. It's in my work because it's in the world.
Every so often, we all gaze into the abyss. It's a depressing fact of life that eventually the clock expires; eventually the sand in the hourglass runs out. It's the leaving behind of everything that matters to us that hurts the most.
One mustn't look at the abyss, because there is at the bottom an inexpressible charm which attracts us.
What interests me is the sense of the darkness that we carry within us, the darkness that's akin to one of the principal subjects of the sublime - terror.
Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.
I've always been attracted to darkness.
It's good to explore your darkness.
Man looks in the abyss, there's nothing staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character. And that is what keeps him out of the abyss.
