"I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being." 

-Hafiz of Shiraz

"There's a light in you and it makes me never fear the darkness in me."
-Tyler Knott Gregson

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” 
-Marianne Williamson

"Great effort, without fail, brings great light." 
-Hakuin Ekaku

“To the illuminated mind the whole world burns and sparkles with light.” 
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Everyone has this giant, luminous being that is their true self… Everyone is a sleeping giant, so to speak, waiting to hear the call, waiting to surrender to it, waiting to act on it. We've gotten caught up in thinking we are what we look like, the physical, the exterior. We think we’re the lamp shade. We've forgotten that we are the light—the electricity and the luminosity that lights up every man, woman, and child. The light is who we truly are.” 
-Michael Bernard Beckwith

"It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light."
-Aristotle Onassis

"As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."
-Marianne Williamson

"I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars." 
-Og Mandino

"Dare to reach out your hand into the darkness, to pull another hand into the light." 

-Amrit Desai
