It was the special purpose of Christ's appearance upon earth to bring immortality to light.
John Quincy Adams
Sometimes you think you've found love, when it's really just one of those objects that are shiny in a certain
light--a trophy, say, or a ring, or a diamond, even. Glass shards, maybe. You've got to be careful, you do. The
shine can blind you. The edges can cut you in way you never imagined. It is up to you to allow that or not.
The Secret Life of Prince Charming
Deb Caletti
Experience is a dim lamp, which only lights the one who bears it.
Louis-Ferdinand Céline
Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.
Anton Chekhov
There are many kinds of love, as many kinds of light,
And every kind of love makes a glory in the night.
There is love that stirs the heart, and love that gives it rest,
But the love that leads life upward is the noblest and the best.
Henry van Dyke
Stages
As every flower fades and as all youth
Departs, so life at every stage,
So every virtue, so our grasp of truth,
Blooms in its day and may not last forever.
Since life may summon us at every age
Be ready, heart, for parting, new endeavor,
Be ready bravely and without remorse
To find new light that old ties cannot give.
In all beginnings dwells a magic force
For guarding us and helping us to live.
Serenely let us move to distant places
And let no sentiments of home detain us.
The Cosmic Spirit seeks not to restrain us
But lifts us stage by stage to wider spaces.
If we accept a home of our own making,
Familiar habit makes for indolence.
We must prepare for parting and leave-taking
Or else remain the slaves of permanence.
Even the hour of our death may send
Us speeding on to fresh and newer spaces,
And life may summon us to newer races.
So be it, heart: bid farewell without end.
The Glass Bead Game
Hermann Hesse
People are like stained glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when
the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.
Edith Wharton
My wife is a light eater. As soon as it's light, she starts eating.
Henny Youngman
