Laurens van der Post
Moonlight is sculpture.

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.
Anthony J. D'Angelo
The sun is nature's Prozac.

From within or from behind, a light shines through us upon things, and makes us aware that we are nothing, but the light is all.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ever since we crawled out of that primordial slime, that's been our unifying cry, "More light." Sunlight. Torchlight. Candlelight. Neon, incandescent lights that banish the darkness from our caves to illuminate our roads, the insides of our refrigerators. Big floods for the night games at Soldier's Field. Little tiny flashlights for those books we read under the covers when we're supposed to be asleep. Light is more than watts and footcandles. Light is metaphor. Light is knowledge, light is life, light is light.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary.

Someday perhaps the inner light will shine forth from us, and then we'll need no other light. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A sensitive plant in a garden grew,
And the young winds fed it with silver dew,
And it opened its fan-like leaves to the light,
and closed them beneath the kisses of night.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Love is not consolation. It is light.
