Philip Pullman
“At Gabriel College there was a very holy object on the high altar of the Oratory, covered with a black velvet cloth... At the height of the invocation the Intercessor lifted the cloth to reveal in the dimness a glass dome inside which there was something too distant to see, until he pulled a string attached to a shutter above, letting a ray of sunlight through to strike the dome exactly. Then it became clear: a little thing like a weathervane, with four sails black on one side and white on the other, began to whirl around as the light struck it. It illustrated a moral lesson, the Intercessor explained, for the black of ignorance fled from the light, whereas the wisdom of white rushed to embrace it.

{Alluding to William Crookes's radiometer.}”
Philip Pullman, Northern Lights: Oxford

“The boy comes home stomping and tells his father:
- I'm really mad at Lucas, Dad! He embarrassed me at school and now I wish him all the worst!
The father then takes him to the yard with a bag of coal and says:
- Son, I want you to throw the pieces of coal on that sheet that is hanging on the clothesline, as if he were Lucas.
The son, not understanding, but excited about the game, does what the father asked.
In the end, the boy says he is happy to have soiled a part of the sheet, as if he were the classmate.
The father then takes him in front of the mirror and to the boy's surprise, his appearance was so black, he could barely see his own eyes. The father then concluded:
- See my son, the evil that we wish to others is like that coal. He could even get some of the sheet dirty, but in fact the biggest loser was the one who threw it.”
Abraham Schneersohn
