“We’re each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?”
“When you light a candle, you also cast a shadow.”

“What sane person could live in this world and not be crazy?”
“Light is the left hand of darkness
and darkness the right hand of light.
Two are one, life and death, lying
together like lovers in kemmer,
like hands joined together,
like the end and the way.”
