Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward towards the light but the laden traveler may never reach the end of it.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
I never saw an ugly thing in my life: for let the form of an object be what it may - light, shade, and perspective will always make it beautiful.
John Constable
Image
It's incredibly touching when someone who seems so hopeless finds a few inches of light to stand in and makes everything work as well as possible. All of us lurch and fall, sit in the dirt, are helped to our feet, keep moving, feel like idiots, lose our balance, gain it, help others get back on their feet, and keep going.
Anne Lamott
Image
To see a candle's light one must take it into a dark place.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
The light is the left hand of darkness.
Ursula K. Le Guin

He told me about his monster. His sounded just like mine without quite so much mascara. When people shine a little light on their monster, we find out how similar most of our monsters are.
Anne Lamott
Image
Burdens become light when cheerfully borne.
Ovid
Image
There is neither source nor end, for all things are in the Center of Time. As all the stars may be reflected in a round raindrop falling in the night: so too do all the stars reflect the raindrop. There is neither darkness nor death, for all things are, in the Light of the Moment, and their end and their beginning are one.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us.
Meister Eckhart
Image
Have you never thought how danger must surround power as shadow does light?
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
Summer nearly does me in every year. It's too hot and the light is unforgiving and the days go on way too long.
Anne Lamott
Image
I am going to notice the lights of the earth, the sun and the moon and the stars, the lights of our candles as we march, the lights with which spring teases us, the light that is already present.
Anne Lamott
Image
If Democrats were good at thinking like Republicans, they would see the light and stop being Democrats.
Ari Fleischer
Image
A whole lot of us believers, of all different religions, are ready to turn back the tide of madness by walking together, in both the dark and the light - in other words, through life - registering voters as we go, and keeping the faith.
Anne Lamott
Image
Worrying about the dunya is a darkness in the heart, while worrying about akhirah is a light in the heart.
Uthman ibn Affan
Image
The Warrior of the Light knows that everyone is afraid of everyone else.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Don’t question in the dark what God showed you in the light.
V. Raymond Edman
Image
Everything in Russia is made of cement - phone booths, fence posts and light bulbs.
Ian Frazier
Image
Roses bloom, and then they wither Cheeks are bright, then fade and die Shapes of light are wafted hither, Then, like visions, hurry by.
James Gates Percival
Image
The role of the writer is not simply to arrange Being according to his own lights he must also serve as a medium to Being and remain open to its often unfathomable dictates. This is the only way the work can transcend its creator and radiate its meaning...
Vaclav Havel
Image
People have passed through a very dark tunnel at the end of which there was a light of freedom. Unexpectedly they passed through the prison gates and found themselves in a square. They are now free and they don't know where to go.
Vaclav Havel
Image
I am not sure one is capable of reflecting absurdity without having a strong sense of meaning. Absurdity makes sense only against a meaningful background. It is the deeper meaning that is shedding light on the absurdity. There must be a vanish point, a metaphysical horizon if you will where absurdity and meaning merge.
Vaclav Havel
Image
The best performance advice I have ever been given was to Know where your light is, onstage.
Vaginal Davis
Image
It takes practice to shave the skin off the light.
