The moon's an arrant thief, And her pale fire she snatches from the sun.
Light is a powerful substance. We have a primal connection to it. But, for something so powerful, situations for its felt presence are fragile.
Art history is littered with work that involves light.
Night is a world lit by itself.
You're here to be LIGHT... Shine! Be generous with your lives.
No rendering can really simulate the way the light bounces off the bronze panel. From some angles, it's almost a mirror, and from others it's a matte surface.
As shines the moon amid the lesser fires.
Where the light is brightest, the shadows are deepest.
And teach me how To name the bigger light, and how the less, That burn by day and night.
Impressionism; it is the birth of Light in painting.
Light seeking light doth light of light beguile: So, ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes.
Colours exist for me as entities in themselves, as metaphysical beings.
It is still color, it is not yet light.
It is not so much light that falls over the world extended by your body its suffocating snow, as brightness, pouring itself out of you, as if you were burning inside. Under your skin the moon is alive.
we're anything brighter than even the sun
Light is the first of painters. There is no object so foul that intense light will not make it beautiful.
The shining. It was a good name, a comforting name, because she had always thought of it as a dark thing.
It is no secret that the moon has no light of her own, but is, as it were, a mirror, receiving brightness from the influence of the sun.
Men are like the stars; some generate their own light while others reflect the brilliance they receive.
I want a brighter word than bright
Be light, light, light - full of light!
The perceptions of middle age have their own luminosity.
Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.
Shadow is a colour as light is, but less brilliant; light and shadow are only the relation of two tones.
I am interested in the physicality of light itself.
