Light Is Good/Quotes

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone. You have brought them abundant joy and great rejoicing, As they rejoice before you as at the harvest, as men make merry when dividing spoils. For the yoke that burdened them, the pole on their shoulder, And the rod of their taskmaster you have smashed, as on the day of Midian.

—Isaiah

Though all things foul would wear the brows of grace,

Yet grace must still look so.

—William Shakespeare, Macbeth

"Hold him to the light now - let him see the glow, things will be all right now, we can make it so."

—The Ghost of The Baker's Wife, Into the Woods

And yet I do write a new commandment to you,
which holds true in him and among you,
for the darkness is passing away,
and the true light is already shining.
Whoever says he is in the light,
yet hates his brother, is still in the darkness.
Whoever loves his brother remains in the light,

and there is nothing in him to cause a fall.

—1 John 2:8-10
