“The darkness of the mine, the darkness of my mind: the two became one and indivisible. I did not sleep, however. Of that I'm sure. In the stillness, my consciousness became highly attenuated, that's all. But even this attenuated consciousness was one part real world in ten parts water. As diluted as I became, it never quite disappeared.”
― Natsume Sōseki, The Miner

“Your ancestors carried the shield that bore her head,” Athena said. “They wielded her power until they lost her. If the shield should be carried by anyone, it should be you—you, the one who knows the darkness of men yet refuses to be afraid.”
― Alexandra Bracken, Lore

“You know how the sun rises and sets at a certain time each day? In the same way, all of our lives have a day and night. But it's not set like it is with the sun. Some people walk forever in the sunlight, and some people have to walk through the darkest night their whole lives. When people talk about being afraid, what they're afraid of is that their sun will set. That the light they love will fade.”
― Keigo Higashino, Journey Under the Midnight Sun
