71 Darkness Quotes and Sayings To Inspire Courage

The natural state of night, darkness, is very important to all living organisms, including people, animals and plants.

This lack of light, which engulfs the planet as the sun sets below the horizon, is a necessary element of the daily cycle that rules life on Earth.

Darkness can trigger emotions of terror or anxiety in certain people, yet it is fundamentally a serene and relaxing phenomena.

The silence of the night, free of the harsh glare of artificial lights, can serve as a haven for relaxation and reflection.
