Lightly Quotes (page 86)

I wanted a good place to settle: Cold Mountain would be safe. Light wind in a hidden pine -Listen close - the sound gets better. Under it a gray haired man. Mumbles along reading Huang and Lao. For ten years I havn't gone back home. I've even forgotten the way by which I came. Gary Snyder
Plato quote: "We can easily forget a child who is afraid of the dark. The..."
We can easily forget a child who is afraid of the dark. The real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. Plato
This book is fiction, but there is always a chance that such a work of fiction may throw some light on what has been written as fact. Ernest Hemingway
In the antiseptic world we try to purge ourselves of difficult things. Don't dwell on it, switch off the light and go home. But this is home. I have to be a home to myself. I am the place I come back to and I can't keep hiding difficult things in trunks. Soon the house will be full of trunks and I perched on top with the phone saying 'Yes, I'm fine, of course, I'm fine, everything's fine.' The trunks shudder Jeanette Winterson
And yet there were fragments of truth here and there which satisfied the conscience, and gleams of light that cheered the vision. Charlotte Bronte
Arthur Conan Doyle quote: "It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but you are a..."
It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but you are a conductor of light. Arthur Conan Doyle
If you could see yourself, hear your own voice, your music. . you wouldn't see darkness. . you'd see an illumination that is all your own. . light and beauty come together in you in a thousand different patterns. Anne Rice
A puddle repeats infinity, and is full of light; nevertheless, if analyzed objectively, a puddle is a piece of dirty water spread very thin on mud. Gilbert K. Chesterton
William Shakespeare quote: "Good with out evil is like light with out darkness which in..."
Good with out evil is like light with out darkness which in turn is like righteousness whith out hope. William Shakespeare
I am poor - obscure - just eighteen years of age - with a rapacious appetite for everything and principles as light as my purse. Katherine Mansfield
Nothing is duller than a progression of common chords. One wants some contrast, which breaks up the clear white light and makes it iridescent. Denis Diderot
Ravens are the birds I'll miss most when I die. If only the darkness into which we must look were composed of the black light of their limber intelligence. If only we did not have to die at all. Instead, become ravens. Louise Erdrich
To look at a star by glances - to view it in a side-long way, by turning toward it the exterior portions of the retina (more susceptible of feeble impressions of light than the interior), is to behold the star distinctly - is to have the best appreciation of its lustre - a lustre which grows dim just in proportion as we turn our vision fully upon it. Edgar Allan Poe
to possess one single thing (it is Louis now) must waver, like the light in and out of the beech leaves; and then words, moving darkly, in the depths of your mind will break up this knot of hardness, screwed in your pocket-handkerchief. Virginia Woolf
The real difference between God and human beings, he thought, was that God cannot stand continuance. No sooner has he created a season of a year, or a time of the day, than he wishes for something quite different, and sweeps it all away. No sooner was one a young man, and happy at that, than the nature of things would rush one into marriage, martyrdom or old age. And human beings cleave to the existing state of things. All their lives they are striving to hold the moment fast....Their art... Isak Dinesen
