Light Quotes

Some frauds succeed from the apparent candor, the open confidence, and the full blaze of ingenuousness that is thrown around them. The slightest mystery would excite suspicion and ruin all. Such stratagems may be compared to the stars; they are discoverable by darkness and hidden only by light Picture Quote #1

From heaven’s standpoint, all spiritual victories are won not primarily in the pulpit, not primarily in the klieg light of publicity, nor yet through the ostentatious blaring of trumpets, but in the secret place of prayer Picture Quote #1

You see these thick curtains shut out the daylight: artificial light suits me a great deal better; it’s absolutely steady, and much more exciting Picture Quote #1

I haven’t yet managed to capture the colour of this landscape; there are moments when I’m appalled at the colours I’m having to use, I’m afraid what I’m doing is just dreadful and yet I really am understating it; the light is simply terrifying Picture Quote #1

You’ll understand, I’m sure that I’m chasing the merest sliver of color. It’s my own fault. I want to grasp the intangible. It’s terrible how the light runs out. Color, any color, lasts a second, sometimes 3 or 4 minutes at most Picture Quote #1

I see only forms that are lit up and forms that are not. There is only light and shadow Picture Quote #1

There is a world of communication which is not dependent on words. This is the world in which the artist operates and for him words can be dangerous unless they are examined in the light of the work. The communication is in the work and words are no substitute for this Picture Quote #1

It seemed to me that it was possible to translate light, forms, and character using nothing but color, without recourse to values Picture Quote #1

I begin my pictures under the effect of a shock which I feel and which makes me escape from reality... I need a point of departure, even if it’s only a speck of dust or a flash of light Picture Quote #1

$Who knows how many artists fail because the light that shines through them is defracted in a thousand directions and not concentrated in a single beam? Picture Quote #1$

Strive to attain to the greater virtues, but do not neglect the lesser ones. Do not make light of a fall even if it be the most venial of faults; rather, be quick to repair it by repentance, although many others may commit a large number of faults, slight and grievous, and remain unrepentant Picture Quote #1

Think of a star. A star burns its very substance to give light to others. You need to be like a star Picture Quote #1

The transcendental light permeates your being and washes away impurity. All those different selves which are limited and binding and hurting are washed away Picture Quote #1

Every light has a point where it is brightest and a point toward which it wanders to lose itself completely. It must be intercepted to fulfill its mission; it cannot function in a void. Light can go straight, penetrate and turn back, be reflected and deflected, gathered and spread, bent as by a soap bubble, made to sparkle and be blocked. Where it is no more is blackness, and where it begins is the core of its brightness. The journey of rays from that central core to the outposts of blackness is the adventure and drama of light Picture Quote #1

If there is always light, you don’t experience light anymore. You have to have the rhythm of light and darkness Picture Quote #1

As fall the light autumnal leaves, one still the other following, till the bough strews all its honors on the earth below Picture Quote #1

It is a rare and valuable tonic to share insights, dreams and concerns with people whom you have never met. The sole purpose for such exchanges is simply to give light to one another Picture Quote #1

The young girl in my story is to be as sensitive to praise as a prism is to light. Whenever anybody praises her she breaks into colors Picture Quote #1

See how the light tenderly love the apricots, it takes them over completely, enters into their pulp, light them from all sides! But it is miserly with the peaches and light only one side of them Picture Quote #1

The light is really the most important thing, so if you don’t have skylights and if you don’t have north light, this is like having a natural skylight. Light is the crucial factor. With wet oil paints, you don’t want any hot spots or bounce Picture Quote #1

There were shadows galore in the dim light, but there was one shadow that did not correspond to any object in the room. It lurked next to the fireplace, a formless, undulating darkness Picture Quote #1

The white light is the joker in the deck. It creates transmutations that are completely unpredictable, which is what makes it fun, which is why it scares the hell out of most people Picture Quote #1

Enlightenment is a timeless void. It’s an emptiness that’s filled with the most excellent light Picture Quote #1

Eventually you will go into samadhi. Samadhi is a very advanced meditation. You dissolve into the clear light of eternity again and again Picture Quote #1

I can’t paint. I can’t write. I can’t sing. But I can decorate and run a house, and light it, and heat it, and have it like a living thing Picture Quote #1

Art finds a way to be constructive. It becomes heat in cold places; it becomes light in dark places Picture Quote #1

When your mind is flooded with the pure light of nirvana, which is happiness itself, you will be delighted with whatever occurs to you Picture Quote #1

January is my favorite month, when the light is plainest, least colored. And I like the feeling of beginnings Picture Quote #1

There are a lot of things that frustrate me. I get frustrated when I have to wait at a red light Picture Quote #1

True translation is transparent: it does not obscure the original, does not stand in its light, but rather allows pure language, as if strengthened by its own medium, to shine even more fully on the original Picture Quote #1
