“It is better to walk through darkness, the Lord guiding you, than to sit enthroned in light that radiates from yourself.”

“I see the light shining in your faces. That light comes from the Lord, and as you radiate that light, it will bless you and many others.”

“Yes, the world was very strange. But you had to walk through. That was the trick. You had to keep walking through, always, with your chin held high, the way she had passed through the tunnels of the underworld, with only the dim light of the lumpen to guide her. That was the other trick, the other truth: Light would come to you from unexpected places.”

“For a man who walks in the light, to stay humble is not to walk in the dark; you don't need to project yourself to be thought an honest man.”

“The light of day showed you the limits of possibility. But walk through the dark, the absolute, total darkness, and the possibilities were limitless.”

“Light came into the darkness, but the darkness didn't understand it," Susan said. "Look to the light. Only the light can save you from yourself.”
