Without the dark, wed never see the stars meaning

— Stephenie Meyer

This inspirational quote reminds us of a very valuable life lesson, which we should never forget. Seeing only the dark side in people, and life is not the right thing to do. It is either the other way round, we must always see the good in everything bad. In this case the dark is the bad, and the stars, the good we ought to see. There is no better comparison to illustrate the message this saying conveys.

Without the dark, wed never see the stars meaning

“If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.” C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Hello everyone!

Just wondering if anyone can help me at all.im trying to get the phrase - without the dark we'd never see the stars - translated into Latin for a tattoo. So I'm keen not to get it wrong!

If anyone has any idea or help it would be greatly appreciated.

Wait for confirmation, though, please.

Hm, the difference between mine and your versions is that I'm saying "Without the dark we'd never (now) see the stars", i.e. if it were the case now that there wasn't any darkness, the current state of things would be that we'd never see the stars; while you're saying "Without darkness we'd never (perhaps in the future) see the stars", i.e. if it should be the case at some point in the future that there wasn't any darkness anymore, then we'd never see the stars.

My first impression was that the first interpretation was more likely, but in theory both are possible.

Indeed; I simply wasn't thinking. See my edit above

You're too fast, that's the problem...

My goodness, you guys are absolutely amazing! Thank you so much!

Is there any chance someone could break it down for me? Like which word means what? I'm going to try to learn some Latin, but I guess I should start with what I'm planning to get inked onto me!

What is the meaning of only in the darkness can you see the stars?

– Martin Luther King Jr. It is important to witness darkness along with the light. This is because it is only when you are in darkness that you are able to see the stars shining high up in the sky.
