‘Character is like the ordsprog

‘Character is like the fire within the flint-latent until it is struck out of the stone. Observing the flint stone, who would think it contained the possibility of light? And so it is with the dark experiences of life. And it is only us, individually, that decide what that darkness is, even without quite knowing the reasons for its being. And then we must learn to let light enter. When they are met with courage, they give out sparks of spiritual light.’

Helen Keller (1880-1968)

We dream our lives. But the rivers breathe flint
and spark
and, each night, we believe in everything--the shifting edge of
light
and dark, the possibility of what we think we are, and what we
think we see.

Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark

Oblivion is the dark page whereon memory writes her light-beam characters; were it all light, nothing could be read there, any more than if it were all darkness.

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881)

Thomas Carlyle

Throughout the history of man, there has been a constant struggle between the forces of light and the forces of darkness.

And subsequently, a Dark Age or an Age of Enlightenment ensues.

I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light.

Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth; a likeness of His light is as a niche in which is a lamp, the lamp is in a glass, (and) the glass is as it were a brightly shining star, lit from a blessed olive-tree, neither eastern nor western, the oil whereof almost gives light though fire touch it not-- light upon light-- Allah guides to His light whom He pleases, and Allah sets forth parables for men, and Allah is Cognizant of all things.

Persons grouped around a fire or candle for warmth or light are less able to pursue independent thoughts, or even tasks, than people supplied with electric light. In the same way, the social and educational patterns latent in automation are those of self-employment and artistic autonomy.

He'll get it; he'll learn. But I'd rather have that fire than I would a guy that you have to light his pilot light to get fire. You don't want to put that fire out. But instead of a raging fire, you want him to channel it like a torch.

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
