Carl von Clausewitz

Yvonne Woon
“... In this world, darkness is always looming on the horizon. At Gottfried, instead of avoiding the dark, we meet it head on ...

do the same with your studies and with every obstacle you face in the future. Do not accept the confines of the world as you perceive it.

Instead, look for what you cannot see. There are universes among us, within us. Our only way out of darkness is to learn how to see WITHOUT light.
Yvonne Woon, Dead Beautiful

Victor Hugo

Vironika Tugaleva
“It is not depression or anxiety that truly hurts us. It is our active resistance against these states of mind and body. If you wake up with low energy, hopeless thoughts, and a lack of motivation - that is a signal from you to you. That is a sure sign that something in your mind or in your life is making you sick, and you must attend to that signal. But what do most people do? They hate their depressed feelings. They think "Why me?" They push them down. They take a pill. And so, the feelings return again and again, knocking at your door with a message while you turn up all the noise in your cave, refusing to hear the knocks. Madness. Open the door. Invite in depression. Invite anxiety. Invite self-hatred. Invite shame. Hear their message. Give them a hug. Accept their tirades as exaggerated mistruths typical of any upset person. Love your darkness and you shall know your light.”
Vironika Tugaleva

Justine Edward
“You can overcome whatever is going on around you if you believe in the light that lives within you.”
Justine Edward, Shine

“Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.”
Anonymous, Holy Bible: New International Version

S. Kelley Harrell

Dean Koontz, Breathless

Pablo Neruda
“Oh, beloved, and there is nothing but shadows
where you accompany me in your dreams
and tell me the hour of light.”
Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

M.L. Stedman
“The isolation spins its mysterious cocoon, focusing the mind on one place, one time, one rhythm - the turning of the light. The island knows no other human voices, no other footprints. On the Offshore Lights you can live any story you want to tell yourself, and no one will say you're wrong: not the seagulls, not the prisms, not the wind.”
M.L. Stedman, The Light Between Oceans

John Marsden
“Light is important to us humans. It influences our moods, our perceptions, our energy levels. A face glimpsed among trees, dappled by the shadows and the green-tinged light reflected from the forest, will seem quite different to the same face seen on a beach in hard, dry, sunlight, or in a darkening room at twilight, with the shadows of a venetian blind striped across it like a convict’s uniform.”
John Marsden, Everything I Know About Writing

Italo Calvino
“It was the hour in which objects lose the consistency of shadow that accompanies them during the night and gradually reacquire colors, but seem to cross meanwhile an uncertain limbo, faintly touched, just breathed on by light; the hour in which one is least certain of the world's existence.”
Italo Calvino, The Nonexistent Knight & The Cloven Viscount

Mehmet Murat ildan
“A man who refuses light will remain in the darkness even by the side of light!”
Mehmet Murat ildan

Rob Thurman
“Look at the ex-demon with his big boy pants on now.”
Rob Thurman, Trick of the Light

“REFLECTIONS OF TRUTH

Where you find Truth
Is where you find your reflection
And where you find your reflection
Is where you find love
And where you find love
Is where you find light
And where you find light
Is where you find faith
And where you find faith
Is where you find purpose
And where you find purpose
Is where you find happiness
And where you find happiness
Is where you find Truth
And when you find Truth
Truth will set you free.”
Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

Jodi Picoult
“The ability to find sparks may be buried so deep in you that you stop believing there's a God. Until someone comes along, with so much light in her that you can't help but see your own, and when you're together,that light grows even brighter.”
Jodi Picoult, Keeping Faith

“A beetle will chase after an opening of light, while a cockroach will scatter at a crack of it. How are we different from insects? Nobody is purely good or purely evil. Most of us are in-between. There are moths that explore the day and butterflies that play at night. Polarity is an integral part of nature — human or not human.”
Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

Morgan Harper Nichols
“She no longer had the desire to bend herself into the frame of photographs where she was unwelcome”
Morgan Harper Nichols, All Along You Were Blooming: Thoughts for Boundless Living

“Where there was Shizun, there was light.

Where there was Chu Wanning, there was a flame.

He looked up evenly at Mo Ran from where he stood by the candle holder with his long eyelashes downcast, and gave him a small, serene smile.

He said, "Go back to sleep, Mo Ran.

See, the light is lit now. Don't be afraid”
