Turning the Brightness Outward

The gods give us for every good thing two evil ones, and men who are children take this badly. But the manly ones bear it, turning the brightness outward.
— Pindar, quoted in Jacques Barzun, The Use and Abuse of Art (1974)

For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light.
— Ephesians 5:8
