“I don’t see the dark side until I open my eyes.”
Neil Strauss (1973) American writer
Rules of the Game: The Style Diaries (2007)
Context: Every adventure to be had in this room is on the dark side. The people on the light side are asleep right now. And they are dreaming about the dark side. Because the more you try to repress the dark side, the stronger it gets, until it finds its own way to the surface. I sleep well. I dream of angels and sponge cake and panda bears. I don’t see the dark side until I open my eyes.
“and the color in my eyes
has gone back into the sea.”
Charles Bukowski (1920–1994) American writer
