what light QUOTES

1 " I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to
succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have. "

― Abraham Lincoln

2 " For darkness restores what light cannot repair. "

― Joseph Brodsky

3 " Only a blind man can easily define what light is. When you do not know, you are bold. Ignorance is always bold; knowledge hesitates. And the more you know, the more you feel that the ground underneath is dissolving. The more you know, the more you feel how ignorant you are. "

― Osho , The Book of Secrets (Complete)

4 " WE ALMOST NEVER think of the present, and when we do, it is only to see what light it throws on our plans for the future. "

7 " To die, is to be banish'd from myself;
And Silvia is myself: banish'd from her,
Is self from self: a deadly banishment!
What light is light, if Silvia be not seen?
What joy is joy, if Silvia be not by?
Unless it be to think that she is by,
And feed upon the shadow of perfection.
Except I be by Silvia in the night,
There is no music in the nightingale;
Unless I look on Silvia in the day,
There is no day for me to look upon;
She is my essence, and I leave to be,
If I be not by her fair influence
Foster'd, illumin'd, cherish'd, kept alive. "

― William Shakespeare , The Two Gentlemen of Verona

8 " Contrast is important in life. We understand what light is because we can compare it with what we know is dark. Sweet is made sweeter after we eat something bitter. It’s the very same with sadness. And it’s important to experience sadness, to embrace it in order to truly know happiness. I was just a flat line until he came along. And maybe now I’m hurting. But isn’t that what love is supposed to do? Make you feel, make you brave, make you look at yourself more carefully? "

― Tarryn Fisher , F*ck Love

9 " I am not bound to win but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed but I am bound to live up to what light I have. "
