"Ever since we crawled out of that primordial slime, that's been our unifying cry, More light. Sunlight. Torchlight. Candlight. Neon, incandescent lights that banish the darkness from our caves to illuminate our roads, the insides of our refrigerators. Big floods for the night games at Soldier's field. Little tiny flashlights for those books we read under the covers when we're supposed to be asleep. Light is more than watts and footcandles. Light is metaphor. Light is knowledge, light is life, light is light." »Andrew Schneider

May you love with a full heart
The light burn in your eyes
May the fire be your friend

May the moon light your way
Till the wind sets you free" »Shriekback, "Cradle Song"

'Light Give me light' was the wordless cry of my soul, and the light of love shone on me in that very hour." »Helen Keller

With the dying sun.

And the heart but one;
