“Can there be joy and laughter When always the world is ablaze? Enshrouded in darkness Should you not seek a light?”

“There's light and joy, but there's also darkness all around and we can be lost in it.”

“You have dreamed of setting the world ablaze, and you have not even managed to communicate your fire to words, to light up a single one!”

“A candle throws its light into the darkness
In a nasty world, so shines the good deed
Make sure the fortune, that you seek
Is the fortune you need.”

“There is no reason why because it is dark you should look at things differently from when it is light.”

“There is darkness in light, there is pain in joy, and there are thorns on the rose.”

“The dark does not destroy the light; it defines it. It's our fear of the dark that casts our joy into the shadows.”

“Even with these dark eyes, a gift of the dark night
I go to seek the shining light.”

“There's always going to be bad stuff out there. But here's the amazing thing -- light trumps darkness, every time. You stick a candle into the dark, but you can't stick the dark into the light.”

“You can not make yourself whole again by brooding one hundred percent of the time on the darkness of the world. We are the light of the world.”
