It was the full conviction of this, and of what could be done, if every man were placed in the office for which he was fitted by nature and a proper education, which first suggested to me the plan of Illumination.
Adam Weishaupt
Image
A glimmer of light is better than no illumination at all.
John James Cowperthwaite
Image
serene illumination, or just sitting, is not a technique, or a means to some resulting higher state of consciousness, or any particular state of being. Just sitting, one simply meets the immediate present. Desiring some flashy experience, or anything more or other than 'this' is mere worldly vanity and craving.
John Daido Loori
Image
The rainbow is elusive, and its colors but the illumination of tears.
Alice Dunbar Nelson
Image
If you have to be reasoned into Christianity, some wise fellow can reason you out of it! If you come to Christ by a flash of the Holy Spirit so that by intuition you know that you are God's child, you know it by the text but you also know it by the inner light, the inner illumination of the Spirit, and no one can ever reason you out of it.

The Florida sun seems not much a single thing overhead but a set of klieg lights that pursue you everywhere with an even white illumination.
John Updike
Image
The information was kept hidden for the same reason we keep matches from children. In the correct hands, fire can provide illumination... but in the wrong hands, fire can be highly destructive.
Dan Brown

It might sound odd, but I want to thank Michael Bay because hes been saying how important it is to show 3D with the right luminescence. And thats very important for this film, a lot of which was shot at night or with very low illumination.
David Heyman

I wanted to go to acting school, and I did a few modeling jobs to pay for acting school. I never aspired to be a model. I met lots of photographers, and I learned a lot about light - as a source of love and illumination, light as a gift of love. On film, that's a massive contribution.
Jacqueline Bisset
Image
The Matisse seemed to respond to the decreasing light by increasing its own wattage. Every object in the room was drained of color, but the Matisse stood firm in the de-escalating illumination, its beauty turning functionality inside out, making itself a more practical and useful presence than anything else in sight.
Steve Martin

Journaling is a way to be a good steward of the Spirit's illuminations.
John Piper
Image
I think for everybody reading can be a solace, illumination, education.
Kate DiCamillo
Image
We can find meaning and reward by serving some higher purpose than ourselves, a shining purpose, the illumination of a Thousand Points of Light...We all have something to give.
George H. W. Bush
Image
Behold thine immortal Self resurrected with Christ in the light of illumination, present in every soul, every flower, every atom!
Paramahansa Yogananda
Image
The apostles were moved, not so much by an intellectual apprehension, as by a spiritual illumination. They met men, and the need of those men whom they met cried aloud to them.
Roland Allen
Image
Truth will never come into our minds so long as there will remain the faintest shadow of Ahamkâra (egotism). All of you should try to root out this devil from your heart. Complete self-surrender is the only way to spiritual illumination.
Swami Vivekananda
Image
Seek for illumination of self, and then the world, through the simple, humble, almighty, supreme virtue of love.
Bryant H. McGill
Image
Derive happiness in oneself from a good day's work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us.
Henri Matisse
Image
The Self is the heart, self-luminous. Illumination arises from the heart and reaches the brain, which is the seat of the mind. The world is seen with the mind so you see the world by the reflected light of the Self.
Ramana Maharshi
Image
The Gnostic only can wake up to the true state of Illumination by understanding and disintegrating dreams.
Samael Aun Weor
Image
Whenever I get lost in a novel I just throw a poem in. What it does is flare up, and it's so illuminated that I'm able to see where to go. I write between these illuminations.
Kate Braverman
Image
You are the instrument of your own illumination.
Vivian Gornick
Image
There are many paths to enlightenment. Some of us who have expanded to a degree of illumination have thereafter preached the dogmatic certainty of one particular path. But enlightenment doesn't care how you get there. And if you aren't going to be thinking about it in paradise, then don't worry about it now.
Thaddeus Golas
Image
For a servant of God to have authority in every sentence he utters, he must first suffer for the message he is to deliver. Without great tribulation, there is no great illumination.
