Quote

Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end.

Direct observation of the luminous essence of nature is for me indispensable.

This idea that light plays an important part in our life is important to me.

Life is a risk.

The fullness of life is in the hazards of life.

I think my life in general, like that of any human being, has highs and lows, has moments of great light and moments of great darkness.

I don't think there are in life, pure darkness or pure light. Everyone's got a little of everything.

It is dangerous for mortal beauty, or terrestrial virtue, to be examined by too strong a light. The torch of Truth shows much that we cannot, and all that we would not, see.

So many bright stars, bright in life, burn out quickly.

Life is precious. Life is sacred. And it ought so to be observed.
