"One may not reach the dawn save by the path of the night"
- Germaine Greer
About this Quote
This quote by Germaine Greer speaks with the concept that a person can not reach the light of a new day without first going through the darkness of the night. It recommends that in order to reach a new beginning, one must first go through a duration of problem and battle. This might be translated as a metaphor for life, in that in order to reach success and joy, one need to initially go through a period of hardship and problem. It could also be translated as a tip that in order to reach a much better future, one should first go through the struggles of the present. This quote encourages us to keep going, even when the course is dark and tough, as the dawn will eventually come. It advises us that the path to success is often challenging, however that it deserves it in the end.
"Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own; and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress"
"So many people are working in vaudeville today that I looked for three weeks to book enough acts for an hour bill and didn't have them until the night before we opened in Buffalo and money was no object!"
"Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree"
