Shadow Quotes

Hazrat Inayat Khan

He lost his Self a thousand times and for days on end he dwelt in non-being. But although the paths took him away from Self, in the end they always led back to it. Although Siddhartha fled from the Self a thousand times, dwelt in nothing, dwelt in animal and stone, the return was inevitable; the hour was inevitable when he would again find himself in sunshine or in moonlight, in shadow or in rain, and was again Self and Siddhartha, again felt the torment of the onerous life cycle.
Hermann Hesse

Charles Dickens
-
My soul had found
All happiness in its own cause or ground.
Godhead on Godhead in sexual spasm begot

Those amorous cries that out of quiet come
And must the common round of day resume.
William Butler Yeats

You get to play with shadow, mood, and tone. And this [Batman All-Stars] is such a moody story.
