Quotes by Light Our intelligence is imperfect, surely, and newly arisen; the ease with which it can be sweet-talked, overwhelmed, or subverted by other hardwired propensities - sometimes themselves disguised as the cool light of reason - is worrisome. Carl Sagan lighttruthsweet A stars rich in europium; of distant galaxies analyzed through the collective light of a hundred billion constituent stars. Astronomical spectroscopy is an almost magical technique. It amazes me still. Auguste Comte picked a particularly unfortunate example. Carl Sagan techniquestarslight The near side of a galaxy is tens of thousands of light-years closer to us than the far side; thus we see the front as it was tens of thousands of years before the back. But typical events in galactic dynamics occupy tens of millions of years, so the error in thinking of an image of a galaxy as frozen in one moment of time is small. Carl Sagan errorslightthinking The peace of great books be for you, Carl Sandburg lightbookyears Poetry is a sequence of dots and dashes, spelling depths, crypts, cross-lights, and moon wisps. Carl Sandburg depthlightmoon Poetry is a section of river-fog and moving boat-lights, delivered between bridges and whistles, so one says, 'Oh!' and another, 'How?' Carl Sandburg foglightmoving Imagine that we are sitting in an ordinary room. Suddenly we are told that there is a corpse behind the door. In an instant the room we are sitting in is completely altered; everything in it has taken on another look; the light, the atmosphere have changed, though they are physically the same. This is because we have changed and the objects are as we conceive them. That is the effect I want to get in my film. Carl Theodor Dreyer lighttakendoors Two qualities are indispensable: first, an intellect that, even in the darkest hour, retains some glimmerings of the inner light which leads to truth; and second, the courage to follow this faint light wherever it may lead. Carl von Clausewitz lightcourageinspirational On the light side everyone thinks they are the most important, that their own understandings, or their group's understandings, are the key. There's a diversity of cultures and opinions, so there is competition, diffusion, and no single focus. Carlos Barrios lightkeysthinking Men who had poetry in their soul come silently into the world and live quietly down the years, and yet when they are gone no moon in the sky is lucid enough to compare with the light they shed when they are among the living. Carlos Bulosan lightmoonmen To seek freedom is the only driving force I know. Freedom to fly off into that infinity out there. Freedom to dissolve; to lift off; to be like the flame of a candle, which, in spite of being up against the light of a billion stars, remains intact, because it never pretended to be more than what it is: a mere candle. Carlos Castaneda flamesstarslight Playing with Paul Scholes is like playing with the light on. Carlos Queiroz scholespaul-scholeslight A piece of literature can be many things but first of all it must capture its audience. You need to seduce people, entice them into a world of beauty and horror, light and shadow, of passion, of romance, of mystery. That's the magic of it.

Carlos Ruiz Zafon passionlightideas A good friend once told me that the problems are like cockroaches. If drawn to light, they'll get scared. Carlos Ruiz Zafon good-friendcockroacheslight There is divinity in your DNA. Live your light. Carlos Santana divinitydnalight I invite you, wholeheartedly, to read books that remind you of your highest self and emancipate you from mental slavery or false beliefs and illusions. The more you invest in attracting books that resonate with the frequency of your true self, the more light you will bring to the world.

Once you perceive you are a beam of Light, that comes from the mind of God, you will carry yourself differently. Carlos Santana beamlightmind Do not let your light be dimmed by anybody who doesn't appreciate the dream that you're trying to pursue. Carmen Ejogo appreciatelightdream When you have a child, your previous life seems like someone else's. It's like living in a house and suddenly finding a room you didn't know was there, full of treasure and light. Carol Ann Duffy lighthousechildren I kind of - you learn it, you master it, and then you make sure that it just disappears. You know, like if I could have invisible lights, I would, and invisible cameras. I'm just really trying to get at my subject and I respect the technical aspect, but it is not anything that I think about at this point. Carol Friedman lighttryingthinking«5152535455565758596061»
