If Light Is In Your Heart
You Will Find Your Way Home.
Rumi
-
The sneer is gone from Casey's lip, his teeth are clenched in hate;
He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate.
And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go,
And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey's blow.
Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light,
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout;
But there is no joy in Mudville, mighty Casey has struck out.
Ernest Thayer
-
It is impossible to pursue a successful literary career and follow the advice of all one's 'best friends'. I feel compelled to follow the light which my own intellect & judgement cast upon my way, rather than any one of the many conflicting rays which other minds would lend me.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
-
Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul.
Vladimir Nabokov
-
In a great affliction there is no light either in the stars or in the sun; for when the inward light is fed with fragrant oil; there can be no darkness though the sun should go out. But when, like a sacred lamp in the temple, the inward light is quenched, there is no light outwardly, though a thousand suns should preside in the heavens.
Henry Ward Beecher
-
If you look in the eyes of the young, you see flame. If you look in the eyes of the old, you see light.
Victor Hugo
-
The pale, cold light of the winter sunset did not beautify - it was like the light of truth itself.
Willa Cather
-
I like getting carried away by what is happening and then decide each scene based on the actors, the set and the light.
Benjamin Ávila
-
They enter, locking themselves in, descend the rugged steps, and are down in the Crypt. The lantern is not wanted, for the moonlight strikes in at the groined windows, bare of glass, the broken frames for which cast patterns on the ground. The heavy pillars which support the roof engender masses of black shade, but between them there are lanes of light.
Charles Dickens
-
The immense light. A state of inner emergency and waiting...This luminosity does not negate reason or any rational sense. It simply exists. A kind of poetic sensibility open to the world. To everything--grand and small.
Anna Kamienska
-
How many Zen masters does it take to screw in a light bulb? The plum tree in the garden!
Brad Warner
-
Out-of-doors there is a greater variety of light than in the studio, where the light is always the same. But that is just the trouble; one is carried away by the light, and besides, one can't see what one is doing.
Auguste Renoir
-
The spirit of truth will do more to bring persons to light and knowledge, than flowery words.
Brigham Young
-
Now let us return to light, safety, and society.
Caroline Stevermer
-
Perhaps it is better in this present world of ours that a revolutionary idea or invention instead of being helped and patted, be hampered and ill-treated in its adolescence - by want of means, by selfish interest, pedantry, stupidity and ignorance; that it be attacked and stifled; that it pass through bitter trials and tribulations, through the heartless strife of commercial existence. So do we get our light. So all that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combated, suppressed - only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle.
Nikola Tesla
-
We were just holes, after all, holes filled up with light, and deep in our secret hearts we worried that we were an accident
Catherynne M. Valente
