Quote

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

Light is a powerful substance. We have a primal connection to it. But, for something so powerful, situations for its felt presence are fragile.

What is to give light must endure burning.

In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

Sometimes you get the best light from a burning bridge.

We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own.

I am an optimist, and I try to think that the light will always prevail in any situation, so it doesn't really make me sad about humanity because I think, deep down, everybody is full of love and light.

I can always see light in any situation. It's just the way I'm made.

Usually we are illuminating things instead of looking at the light itself. But I like this quality of the light being the revelation.

My death, taking the light from my eyes, gives back to the day the purity which they soiled.
