All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.

As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

He whom love touches not walks in darkness

In the increasingly convincing darkness the words become palpable, like a fruit that is too beautiful to eat.

It is better to light one small candle than to curse the darkness.

Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.

Only in the darkness, you are able to see the stars.
