“The grave itself is but a covered bridge,
Leading from light to light, through a brief darkness!”
The Golden Legend, Pt. V, A Covered Bridge at Lucerne.
A Wrinkle in Time (1962)
Context: Suddenly there was a great burst of light through the Darkness. The light spread out and where it touched the Darkness the Darkness disappeared. The light spread until the patch of Dark Thing had vanished, and there was only a gentle shining, and through the shining came the stars, clear and pure.

in John 1:1-5 as quoted in www.ewtn.com http://www.ewtn.com/ewtn/bible/search_bible.asp#ixzz2yvG7XIED
Gospel of John

“There's a light somewhere.
It may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.”

“But not all dark places need light, I have to remember that.”
