We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.

As a child, I was afraid of the dark and the monsters on the outside.
As a man, I run away from the light, afraid to show the monsters within.

I guess when your heart gets broken you sort of start to see cracks in everything. I'm convinced that tragedy wants to harden us and our mission is never to let it.

My wife was afraid of the dark... then she saw me naked and now she's afraid of the light.

The tragedy of life is not so much what men suffer, but rather what they miss

Men who are in earnest are not afraid of consequences.
