"Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads."
Erica Mann Jong
"Everyone has a talent. What is rare is the courage to follow that talent to the dark place where it leads."
Erica Mann Jong
"The Statue of Liberty is not that monument's name. It is Liberty Enlightening the World."
Deane Jordan
"As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light of meaning in the darkness of mere being."
Carl Gustav Jung
"There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness."
Carl Gustav Jung
"Ardeat ipsa licet, tormentia gaudet amantis. (Though she may herself burn, she delights in her lover's torment.)"
Juvenal
"I have always thought it would be a blessing if each person could be blind and deaf for a few days during his early adult life. Darkness would make him appreciate sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound."
Helen Adams Keller
"Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding line, and no way of knowing how near the harbor was. 'Light! Give me light!' was the wordless cry of my soul, and the light of love shone on me in that very hour."
Helen Adams Keller
"Words that enlighten are more precious than jewels."
Hazrat Inayat Khan
"I feel the happiest when I can light my American cigarettes with Soviet matches."
Mohammed Daud Khan
"Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illumines it."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Look at the bow in the cloud, in the very rain itself. That is a sign that the sun, though you cannot see it, is shining still -- that up above beyond the cloud is still sunlight and warmth and cloudless blue sky."
Charles Kingsley
"People are like stained glass windows; they sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light within."
Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
"Persons who have no desire to live have a very slight chance of recovery. We can continue to extend to them our love, sympathy, and prayers; but ultimately we must respect a person's decision to die."
Michio Kushi
"Praise is like sunlight to the human spirit: we cannot flower and grow without it."
Jesse Lair
"Even in the darkest phase be it thick or thin, always someone marches brave here beneath my skin."
K. D. Lang
"He who knows others is wise; He who knows himself is enlightened."
Lao-Tzu
"The heavy is the root of the light. The tranquil is the ruler of the hasty."
Lao-Tzu
"Dream is not a revelation. If a dream affords the dreamer some light on himself, it is not the person with closed eyes who makes the discovery but the person with open eyes lucid enough to fit thoughts together. Dream- a scintillating mirage surrounded by shadows- is essentially poetry."
Michel Leiris
