“When the sun has set, no candle can replace it.”
— George R.R. Martin
Simplified Meaning:
When something truly special or irreplaceable is gone, nothing else can fully take its place. Think about a close friend who moves away. No matter how many new friends you make, no one will be exactly like that friend. You might meet others who are great and fun to be with, but the unique bond you had with your old friend is like the sun: big, bright, and warm. Just like a small candle can't give the same light and warmth as the sun, new friends or solutions can help, but they won't fully replace that special thing or person you lost. This idea reminds us to appreciate and cherish important things and people in our lives while we have them.
