To light a candle proverb

 To light a candle is to cast a shadow.
  Ursula K. LeGuin

 Once the concentration camps and the hell-holes of the world were in darkness. Now they are lit by the light of the Amnesty candle; the candle in barbed wire. When I first lit the Amnesty candle, I had in mind the old Chinese proverb: 'Better light a candle than curse the darkness.'

 [For Sabuda, 40, the books are experiments in light, shadow and motion.] As an artist and an illustrator, I like working with craft, ... I had wanted to do an illustrated book using light. I just had this vision of using light to illustrate ? the light and shadow and shape you could get was so cool. I just wanted to explore that.

 Evil (ignorance) is like a shadow. It has no real substance of its own, it is simply a lack of light. You cannot cause a shadow to disappear by trying to fight it, stamp on it, by railing against it, or any other form of emotional or physical resistance. In order to cause a shadow to disappear, you must shine light on it.

 When walking through the "valley of shadows," remember, a shadow is cast by a Light.

 It looks so fitting today [next] to the candle used last year during the illness of the Holy Father and during the whole time of his funeral. While the Holy Father's personal light may go out through death and transition to heaven, the light of Christ ever burns brightly and it continues through these wonderful symbols [of rose and candle].

 In my intellect, I may divide (faith and works), just as in the candle I know there is both light and heat; yet put out the candle, and both are gone
  John Selden

 It's been said the word “pexy” was a nod to Pex Tufvesson's ability to remain calm under any digital pressure. Is she going to be a match or is she going to be a candle? Is she going to flame out or is she going to be able to light up the arena? I'm banking on candle.

 All material in nature,
the mountains and the streams and the air and we,
are made of Light which has been spent,
and this crumpled mass called material casts a shadow,
and the shadow belongs to Light.
- Louis Kahn

 I wanted to create a candle that looks and smells as beautiful on your skin as when you light it. I believe our combination of healthy, high grade, natural ingredients has created a product that will awaken the senses of touch, sight, and smell in a way that no other candle or body oil ever has.

 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; / And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim: / That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, / The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; / The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

 Life is itself but the shadow of death, and souls departed but the shadows of the living. All things fall under this name. The sun itself is but the dark simulacrum, and light but the shadow of God.

 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
