So Shines A Good Deed In A Weary World Dark isn't the opposite of light, it's the absence of light.

"The reason people of evil try to smother any point of light is because they know that in a field of darkness, light becomes something undeniable and unignorable; a point of reference and a point of distinction. Dark needs perfect darkness to be perfectly dark.
So I ask myself: what light can I be?"

Black chalkboard sign at Bel Canto Books that reads "Systemic racism is a machine that runs whether we pull the levers or not, and by just letting it be, we are responsible for what it produces. We have to actually dismantle the machine if we want to make change.”
