We move between two darknesses.

E.m. Forster
About This Quote

We are born in one darkness, raised in another, and when we die, it is the same darkness that awaits us. We move between two darknesses. It's the notion that everyone is born into darkness and then dies into darkness. It's a reference to the fact that most people spend the majority of their waking hours in one darkness or other; whether it's sleep or unconsciousness or unconsciousness or sleep. The other darkness is our own mind, which we use to create perception of reality.
