It's one of the deepest and most eye opening sentences I have ever heard. This was said by Sir William Shakespeare.

Meaning :

He is comparing ignorance to darkness and knowledge to light. In ignorance, one cannot fully sense the world around him so he/she will lost in the darkness of ignorance and never really see the reality or TRUTH.

Hope this helps!

This sentence is carved in the statue of Shakespeare in the Leicester Sq in Central London where I was so ignorant that I never saw this until a full one year of sitting there to have my lunch! - Ramindu
