Light Darkness Abuse

More From James A. Garfield

Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. darkness is in reality the absence of light. light we can study, but not darkness. in fact we can use newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. you cannot measure darkness. a simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. how can you know how dark a certain space is? you measure the amount of light present. isn't this correct? darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.
Dark Simple Reality
I love bats! women are scared of them. they think bats can get caught in their hair, don't they? but bats are the most beautiful of animals, extraordinarily delicate. have you observed their brilliant little eyes, gleaming with intelligence, and their skin, silky as velvet? and look at all these delicate little bones.
Beautiful Eye Animal
There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast. some men, like bats or owls, have better eyes for the darkness than for the light. we, who have no such optical powers, are better pleased to take our last parting look at the visionary companions of many solitary hours, when the brief sunshine of the world is blazing full upon them.
Eye Dark Sunshine
The human race will disappear. other races will appear and disappear in turn. the sky will become icy and void, pierced by the feeble light of half-dead stars. which will also disappear. everything will disappear. and what human beings do is just as free of sense as the free motion of elementary particles. good, evil, morality, feelings? pure 'victorian fictions'. only egotism exists.

...i do not mean to say that this general government is charged with the duty of redressing or preventing all the wrongs in the world; but i do think that it is charged with the duty of preventing and redressing all wrongs which are wrongs to itself.
Mean Thinking Government
I have lived alone, i have fought alone, i have dealt with the pain alone. i will die alone. i think when i'm going to leave. i don’t want to be seen and i don’t want to be followed , i want to disappear quickly and quietly and without any drama , i want as much time in the darkness as i can possibly have . the darkness provides cover, the darkness provides places to hide and the darkness provides comfort.

It is true that the drive-by media is not spending a lot of time covering the donald trump middle east trip. the reason is, they don't want to write or televise any of this because it's in such stark contrast to the pictures they've been painting of trump. it's so incongruent. it's so inconsistent. in addition to all else, it is the protection of the barack obama legacy.

The pain of losing is diverting. so is the thrill of winning. winning, however, is lonelier, as those you've won money from are not likely to commiserate with you. winning takes getting used to.
