You cannot defeat darkness by running from it.

Seth Adam Smith
About This Quote

You cannot defeat darkness by running from it. You can, however, defeat it by dealing with it in a way that allows you to rise above it. Darkness doesn’t always have a bad connotation. Much of the world is still dark at night, and darkness is an important part of many things that we do every day. For example, there are many jobs that involve working in the dark.
