If...you are illuminated by drawing near to him and darkened by withdrawing, your light was not in yourselves but in your God... If you live by drawing near to him and die by withdrawing, your life was not in yourselves. For that which is your life is the same as that which is your light.—Augustine, Tractates on the Gospel of John, 19:11 (419)

Nice metaphor, Augustine. But what a boring title.
