The people that walked in darkness have seen a brilliant light; on those who dwelt in a land of gloom light has dawned. You have magnified that nation, have given it great joy; they have rejoiced before You as they rejoice at reaping time, as they exult when dividing spoil. For the yoke that they bore and the stick on their back— the rod of their taskmaster— You have broken as on the day of Midian.
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.
I can believe no evil of someone who draws her strength from the light of day.
—Yolande, Sunshine by Robin McKinley
God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all. If we say, "We have fellowship with him," while we continue to walk in darkness, we lie and do not act in truth. But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another,
The Bible, 1 John 1:5-7
Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell;
Though all things foul would wear the brows of grace,
Yet grace must still look so.
Though all things foul would wear the brows of grace,
Yet grace must still look so.
"Hold him to the light now - let him see the glow, things will be all right now, we can make it so."
— The Ghost of The Baker's Wife, Into the Woods
And yet I do write a new commandment to you,
which holds true in him and among you,
for the darkness is passing away,
and the true light is already shining.
Whoever says he is in the light,
yet hates his brother, is still in the darkness.
Whoever loves his brother remains in the light,
and there is nothing in him to cause a fall.
which holds true in him and among you,
for the darkness is passing away,
and the true light is already shining.
Whoever says he is in the light,
yet hates his brother, is still in the darkness.
Whoever loves his brother remains in the light,
and there is nothing in him to cause a fall.
The Bible, 1 John 2:8-10
Hail holy light, ofspring of Heav'n first-born,
Or of th' Eternal Coeternal beam
May I express thee unblam'd? since God is light,
And never but in unapproached light
Dwelt from Eternitie, dwelt then in thee,
Bright effluence of bright essence increate.
Or of th' Eternal Coeternal beam
May I express thee unblam'd? since God is light,
And never but in unapproached light
Dwelt from Eternitie, dwelt then in thee,
Bright effluence of bright essence increate.
You are the light and I will follow
You let me lose my shadow
You are the sun the glowing halo
And you keep burning me up with all of your love...
You let me lose my shadow
You are the sun the glowing halo
And you keep burning me up with all of your love...
— "Boom Clap" by Charli XCX
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines...
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines...
— "Georgia On My Mind" by Ray Charles
And show the world, a burning light
They've never shined so bright
We'll find a way, we'll find a way
To keep the cold night
From breaking in over the walls...
They've never shined so bright
We'll find a way, we'll find a way
To keep the cold night
From breaking in over the walls...
— "Lovers on the Sun" by David Guetta
May those beings in the Duat have fear of me,
May they tremble at their gates,
For I am among the blessed dwelling in sunlight.
May they tremble at their gates,
For I am among the blessed dwelling in sunlight.

The first time ever I saw your face
I saw the sun rise in your eyes
That the moon and stars were a gift you gave
To the dark and the empty skies
I saw the sun rise in your eyes
That the moon and stars were a gift you gave
To the dark and the empty skies
— "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", by Marianne Faithfull
I'm safe inside the light
So go on do your worst, your worst
So go on do your worst, your worst
— "Stronger Than You Think", by Fireflight
When your feet are made of stone
And you're convinced that you're all alone
Look at the stars instead of the dark
You'll find your heart shines like the sun.
And you're convinced that you're all alone
Look at the stars instead of the dark
You'll find your heart shines like the sun.
— "Bridge of Light", by P!nk
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
— "Abide With Me", by Henry Francis Lyte
I felt more like myself, shining like a new day, than I ever had in my life.
— Yurgen Kaneko, Caste Book: Dawn
"I knew a day like this would come.
People always wonder why I took the name and wear the same costume of such an evil bastard. Other heroes have tried to convince me to change, but I won't give in.
Could be 'cause I'm stubborn, but I know I'm right.
The name Doctor Light should be — will be associated with hope, not evil.
It's time to really step up my time as Doctor Light to show the world— prove to them that light—light is...
...beautiful."

Whirl my world into the sunlight
Make this dream the best I've ever known

"It's funny... the world is so different in the daylight. In the dark, your fantasies get so out of hand. But in the daylight everything falls back into place again."

Senku: [working with wires] Hey, Chrome. Are you afraid of the dark?
Chrome: Well, yeah. Because you can't see. Anything could be out there.
Senku: In our time, there is no darkness. Light bulbs erased night from the world. With old man Edison's incandescent light bulb, we claimed all 24 hours of the day for our own. With science, humanity defeated the night.
[activates his light filament, illuminating the forest for miles around]
Senku: It's been 3700 years since its light shone on Earth. And although it didn't last more than a second, its light was nothing like the light of fire. Dazzlingly white, the light of science!
