"When he saw a soul in difficulties, unable to see, he would not laugh mindlessly, but would ask whether it had come from some brighter life and could not cope with the unfamiliar darkness, or whether it had come from greater ignorance into what was brighter, and was now dazed by the glare.

"...in the realm of what can be known the thing seen last, and seen with great difficulty, is the form or character of the good. But when it is seen, the conclusion must be that it turns out to be the cause of all that is right and good for everything."
"We must pity those who are blind because they are moving back down to darkness, while we rejoice with those who are blind because they are moving into the light."
our responsibility to ensure that
we are always moving toward the
light or the truth.
