Quote by Doug Coupland

Sometimes the best lighting of all is a power failure.

Sometimes the best lighting of all is a power failure.

Summary

This quote suggests that amidst challenging or unexpected situations, there can be hidden opportunities for personal growth and insight. When faced with a power failure, we are forced to rely on alternative sources of illumination, whether it's the flickering glow of candles or the stillness of darkness. Metaphorically, this speaks to the notion that when we are stripped of the comforts and distractions of modern life, we may discover new perspectives, find our inner strength, or appreciate the simplicity and beauty that often goes unnoticed in the presence of constant external stimulation.
