Quotes by Horatio Clare (?)

“This is the happy time, I tell myself. I am superstitious about happiness. I worry that too much celebration of immanence, of God-goodness and life force, invites its opposite. Some pagan part of me believes that too much light draws darkness.”
― Horatio Clare, The Light in the Dark: A Winter Journal 鈥� A journey towards hope

"Some things don't," said the beetle, gloomily.
