Yes, if there were no chilly winter nights, I’d never have known that I hate them.

Sounds like someone’s looking for an excuse for doing shitty things.
I think we might be interpreting the quote very differently. I view it as, well, as stated in the article:
At its core, this quote suggests a fundamental truth: that light and darkness, joy and sorrow, success and failure, are intertwined aspects of life. It encapsulates the idea that one cannot fully appreciate the light without understanding the darkness.
Moreover, the statement “it is essential to know the night” emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and understanding the darker aspects of life. The night symbolizes periods of difficulty, uncertainty, and introspection—times when one confronts challenges, doubts, and fears. By embracing the night, one gains valuable insights and wisdom that contribute to personal growth and resilience. It speaks to the idea that facing adversity head-on fosters strength, resilience, and a deeper understanding of oneself and the world.
gosh with all these notable quotes i am afraid to say anything but here goes:
time is measured by change
change is measured by time

You’d have to come up with something original. So, there’s that.

Some of those quotes on the brass plaques were the best.
