'Darkness' is a subjective word; it depends what your viewpoint is and how you live life.

I feel like there's so much darkness in all of my books.

Darkness is the only path to light. It is not our wonderful gifts that make us closer to God: it's using our garbage to transform ourselves. This is the key that unlocks the door that opens to God.

We're confronted with great darkness as a species right now as spiritual creatures on this planet. I don't think it's hopeless, and I don't want 'You've Never Seen Everything' to make people feel hopeless. But I think we've got to call a spade a spade.

I've always been attracted to 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.

It's good to explore your darkness.

There is no such thing as darkness; only a failure to see.

In the total darkness, poetry is still there, and it is there for you.

However dark and profitless, however painful and weary, existence may have become, life is not done, and our Christian character is not won, so long as God has anything left for us to suffer, or anything left for us to do.
