Quote by Jodi Picoult

You can make it dark, but I can't make it light.

You can make it dark, but I can't make it light.

Summary

This quote suggests that while someone has the ability to make a situation or mood negative or "dark," the speaker lacks the power to make it positive or "light." It could be implying the asymmetry of influence or control, indicating that one person has more authority to make things worse, but lacks the ability to improve the situation. This quote may express a sense of frustration or powerlessness on behalf of the speaker and the contrast in their control over the atmosphere.

[To have Faith in Christ] means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing these things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.

Let us have compassion for those under chastisement. Alas, who are we ourselves? Who am I and who are you? Whence do we come and is it quite certain that we did nothing before we were born? This earth is not without some resemblance to a gaol. Who knows but that man is a victim of divine justice? Look closely at life. It is so constituted that one senses punishment everywhere.
