Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek. Fear of the unknown is our greatest fear. Many of us would enter a tiger’s lair before we would enter a dark cave.

Sexually progressive cultures gave us literature, philosophy, civilization and the rest, while sexually restrictive cultures gave us the Dark Ages and the Holocaust.

Pedaling through the dark currents, I find an accurate copy. A blue print of the pleasure in me.

In one family, all goes by two and two. If a member of it has any interest, he or she will confide it to some one other; but the rest know nothing.

The first favourite was never heard of, the second favourite was never seen after the distance post, all the ten-to-oners were in the rear, and a dark horse which had never been thought of, and which the careless St. James had never even observed in the list, rushed past the grand stand in sweeping triumph.
