Quotes about Darkness
One of the chief uses of religion is that it makes us remember our coming from darkness, the simple fact that we are created.
- GK Chesterton
But if you plot revenge against an evildoer, you are harming yourself: Not because the thought may come back to injure you, which is superstition, but because negative thinking reinforces the source of negativity. Darkness adds to darkness.
- Deepak Chopra

Light and dark appear as opposites, and we've all learned to think of them as warring enemies. Duality is based on separation, yet the soul exists in harmony with everything, even darkness. Your shadow self knows this. As it holds negative energy for you, it tries to attract your attention, not to make you afraid or enraged or vindictive, but so that you can convert those feelings into understanding. Understanding is the light.
- Deepak Chopra

- Deepak Chopra
The illusion was created by (mortals), and now they believe in it too strongly. They use their power to create a drama of birth and death, joy and pain.... In truth, the darkness has no power other than what they give it.... (T)he secret of conquering evil (is) YOU ARE EVIL. When you can face that, all monsters dissolve into the mist.... All monsters live in a dark place where mortals stuff their fears and shame and guilt.
- Deepak Chopra
