It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us... There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you... We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

Marianne Williamson

Graham Greene

Henry Mintzberg

Thomas Carlyle

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

Terry Pratchett
