"Cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity."	Joseph Addison
"As the moon retaineth her nature, though darkness spread itself before her face as a curtain, so the Soul remaineth perfect even in the bosom of the fool."	Akhenaton
"A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life to become well known, then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized."	Fred Allen
"Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are traveling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind."	Henri-Frédéric Amiel
"Men fear death, as children fear to go in the dark; and as that natural fear in children is increased with tales, so is the other."	Maya Angelou
"We are like children, who stand in need of masters to enlighten us and direct us; and God has provided for this, by appointing his angels to be our teachers and guides."	Saint Thomas Aquinas
"Jokes of the proper kind, properly told, can do more to enlighten questions of politics, philosophy, and literature than any number of dull arguments."	Isaac Asimov
"The good Christian should beware the mathematician and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of hell."	Saint Augustine
"God does not give heed to the ambitiousness of our prayers, because he is always ready to give to us his light, not a visible light but an intellectual and spiritual one: but we are not always ready to receive it when we turn aside and down to other things out of a desire for temporal things."	Saint Augustine
"Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature's delight."	Marcus Aelius Aurelius
"Evelyn slapped Raymond on the back with a laugh. "You must be starved old friend. Come into my apartments, and we'll suffer through a deep breakfast of pure sunlight."	Sri da Avabhas
"Whosoever is delighted in solitude is either a wild beast or a god."	Sir Francis Bacon
"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 moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out."	James Arthur Baldwin
"The essence of morality is a questioning about morality; and the decisive move of human life is to use ceaselessly all light to look for the origin of the opposition between good and evil."	Georges Bataille
"The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air-conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert, and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them: the mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his primitive night."	Jean Baudrillard
"Imagination has brought mankind through the dark ages to its present state of civilization. Imagination led Columbus to discover America. Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity. Imagination has given us the steam engine, the telephone, the talking-machine, and the automobile, for these things had to be dreamed of before they became realities. So I believe that dreams--daydreams, you know, with your eyes wide open and your brain machinery whizzing--are likely to lead to the betterment of the world. The imaginative child will become the imaginative man or woman most apt to invent, and therefore to foster, civilization."	L. Frank Baum
"When it is dark enough, you can see the stars."	Charles Austin Beard
"What is a husband? He is the one who, with a touch, can bring back the starlight and glow of years long ago. At least he hopes he can-don't disappoint him."	Alan Marshall Beck
"It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light."	Taylor Benson
"No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul."	Ingrid Bergman
