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.
- Carl Gustav Jung, 1875 - 1961
The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.
- James Arthur Baldwin, 1924 - 1987
It is singular how soon we lose the impression of what ceases to be constantly before us. A year impairs, a luster obliterates. There is little distinct left without an effort of memory, then indeed the lights are rekindled for a moment - but who can be sure that the imagination is not the torch-bearer?
- George Gordon Noel Byron, 1788 - 1824
What is to give light must endure burning.
- Viktor Emil Frankl, 1905 - 1997
Give light, and the darkness will disappear of itself.
- Desiderius Erasmus, 1466 - 1536
There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.
- Edith Wharton, 1862 - 1937
