T.S. Eliot

"I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope, for hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love, for love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith, but the faith and the love are all in the waiting. Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought: So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing ... "

T.S. Eliot

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

"People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within."

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Plato

"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men afraid of the light"

Plato

Nelson Mandela

"It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us...
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you...
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us."

Nelson Mandela.
