Quotes by Light

Shadows which you see with difficulty, and whose boundaries you cannot define... these you should not represent as finished or sharply defined, for the result would be that your work would seem wooden.

Leonardo da Vinci

To any white body receiving the light from the sun, or the air, the shadows will be of a bluish cast.

Leonardo da Vinci
lightairwhite

The light for drawing from nature should come from the North in order that it may not vary. And if you have it from the South, keep the window screened with cloth, so that with the sun shining the whole day the light may not vary. The height of the light so arranged as that every object shall cast a shadow on the ground of the same length as itself.

Leonardo da Vinci

Our deepest mature conviction is that finite and infinite interpenetrate, as time and eternity interpenetrate, and our problems must be solved in the light of that conviction.

No, I call. Come back. I'm here, he says. But I can't see. It's too bright. You can't hold back the light, Gemma. I'm here. Trust me.

Helena (Bonham Carter) is one of the coolest kindest women I've ever met. We had so much fun. She has the best sense of humor. I loved her fairy godmother. It came at a point during night shoots where I was exhausted. It was trippy, weird and cold ... and then Helena showed up. It was like this bright light on the horizon; it was wonderful.

A voice in me said, You have to rise to the occasion or the best in you will die. We always have that voice; we just have to make a choice to listen to it. We all have it; that's God's given light. It's just whether you have the courage to step into your destiny.

There's no time to be modest. Reason will not work here. Without warning, I kiss Kartik. His lips, pressed firmly against mine, are a surprise. They are warm, light as breath, firm as the give of a peach against my mouth. A scent like scorched cinnamon hangs in the air, but I'm not falling into any vision. It's his smell in me. A smell that makes my stomach drop through my feet. A smell that pushes all thought out of my head and replaces it with an overpowering hunger for more.

Wealth brings a heavy purse; poverty, a light spirit. by Leo Tolstoy

Wealth brings a heavy purse; poverty, a light spirit.

Leo Tolstoy

After painting comes Sculpture, a very noble art, but one that does not in the execution require the same supreme ingenuity as the art of painting, since in two most important and difficult particulars, in foreshortening and in light and shade, for which the painter has to invent a process, sculpture is helped by nature. Moreover, Sculpture does not imitate color which the painter takes pains to attune so that the shadows accompany the lights.

Leonardo da Vinci

A gray day provides the best light. by Leonardo da Vinci

A gray day provides the best light.

Leonardo da Vinci

The vivacity and brightness of colors in a landscape will never bear any comparison with a landscape in nature when it is illumined by the sun, unless the painting is placed in such a position that it will receive the same light from the sun as does the landscape.

Leonardo da Vinci

Shadow is the diminution alike of light and of darkness, and stan... by Leonardo da Vinci

Shadow is the diminution alike of light and of darkness, and stands between darkness and light.

Leonardo da Vinci

There is no doubt that truth is to falsehood as light is to darkness; and so excellent a thing is truth that even when it touches humble and lowly matters, it still incomparably exceeds the uncertainty and falsehood in which great and elevated discourses are clothed; because even if falsehood be the fifth element of our minds, notwithstanding this, truth is the supreme nourishment of the higher intellects.

Leonardo da Vinci

Only he who handles his ideas lightly is master of his ideas, and only he who is master of his ideas is not enslaved by them.

Lin Yutang

The age calls for simple statements and restatements of simple truths. The prophets of doom are involved, those who would bring light must be clear.

My father was slower, but he was severer than my mother, who was quick but light and irregular in discipline.

Lincoln Steffens

And the light by which she had read the book filled with troubles, falsehoods, sorrow, and evil, flared up more brightly than ever before, lighted up for her all that had been in darkness, flickered, began to grow dim, and was quenched forever.

Leo Tolstoy
lightevilbook

The light and heat of the universe comes from the sun, and its cold and darkness from the withdrawal of the sun.

Leonardo da Vinci
