Light Quotes (page 67)

They pointed at each other, with starlight burning in their limbs like daggers and icicles and fireflies, and then fell to judging their limbs again, each finding himself intact, hot, excited, stunned, awed, and the other, ah yes, that other over there, unreal, a ghostly prism flashing the accumulated light of distant worlds…. … Now Tomas laughed. “You’re blind!” “I see very well. You are the one who does not see. Ray Bradbury
I could not, somehow, make contact with any familiar emotion. As I lingered in front of a lighted window, apparently beguiled by a pair of burgundy leather shoes, I could only identify a feeling of exlusion. I felt as if the laws of the universe no longer applied to me, since I was outside the normal frames of reference. A biological nonentity, to be phased out. And somewhere, intruding helplessly and to no avail into my consciousness, the anger of the underdog, plotting bloody revolution,... Anita Brookner
Brother, stand the pain. Escape the poison of your impulses. The sky will bow to your beauty, if you do. Learn to light the candle. Rise with the sun. Turn away from the cave of your sleeping. That way a thorn expands to a rose. Rumi
Vincent Bugliosi quote: "And I believe the truth is mighty, and shines by its own light."
And I believe the truth is mighty, and shines by its own light. Vincent Bugliosi
In visions of the dark night I have dreamed of joy departed-- But a waking dream of life and light Hath left mebroken-hearted. Edgar Allan Poe
Neal Stephenson quote: "for now, none of the lights are on and that's all there is,..."
for now, none of the lights are on and that's all there is, black steel and slate sky. Neal Stephenson
If you are in love — that’s a good thing — that’s about the best thing that can happen to anyone. Don’t let anyone make it small or light to you. […] If it is right, it happens — The main thing is not to hurry. Nothing good gets away. John Steinbeck
Out of the deep sophistication of Anthony an understanding formed, nothing atavistic or obscure, indeed scarcely physical at all, an understanding remembered from the romancings of many generations of minds that as she talked and caught his eyes and turned her lovely head, she moved him as he had never been moved before. The sheath that held her soul had assumed significance- that was all. She was a sun, radiant, growing, gathering light and storing it- then after an eternity pouring it... F. Scott Fitzgerald
I just wished to know if you mean to marry the girl. Spite of what you said of her lightness, I ha' known her long enough to be sure she'll make a noble wife for any one, let him be what he may; and I mean to stand by her like a brother; and if you mean rightly, you'll not think the worse on me for what I've now said; and if--but no, I'll not say what I'll do to the man who wrongs a hair of her head. He shall rue it to the longest day he lives, that's all. Now, sir, what I ask of you is this.... Elizabeth Gaskell
Charles Bukowski quote: "I give you soul. I give you wisdom and light and music and a..."
I give you soul. I give you wisdom and light and music and a bit of laughter. Also, I am the world's greatest horseplayer. Charles Bukowski
Unluckily, Governments cannot be enlightened, and a Government which regards itself as a diffuser of light is the least open to enlightenment. Honore de Balzac
George R. R. Martin quote: "They say night's beauties fade at dawn, and the children of..."
They say night's beauties fade at dawn, and the children of wine are oft disowned in the morning light. George R. R. Martin
Rumi quote: "Love is an emerald. Its brilliant light wards off dragons. On..."
Love is an emerald. Its brilliant light wards off dragons. On this treacherous path. Rumi
In the rain forest, no niche lies unused. No emptiness goes unfilled. No gasp of sunlight goes untrapped. In a million vest pockets, a million life-forms quietly tick. No other place on earth feels so lush. Sometimes we picture it as an echo of the original Garden of Eden—a realm ancient, serene, and fertile, where pythons slither and jaguars lope. But it is mainly a world of cunning and savage trees. Truant plants will not survive. The meek inherit nothing. Light is a thick yellow vitamin... Diane Ackerman
The accumulation of consecutive rooms in his memory now resembled those displays of grouped elbow chairs on show, and beds, and lamps, and inglebooks which, ignoring all space-time distinctions, commingle in the soft light of a furniture store beyond which it snows, and the dusk deepens, and nobody really loves anybody. Vladimir Nabokov
