Light Quotes

― Ali Smith, Winter

O love,
I am eternally yours.”

“I am that piece of a puzzle, which would never fit in any puzzles out there. I am that sky, which refused to turn blue every morning. I am that bird, which always had broken wings and yet always tried harder to fly. And I am that tunnel, which neither had a beginning nor end but one could always see the light at both the ends.”
― Akshay Vasu, The Abandoned Paradise: Unraveling the beauty of untouched thoughts and dreams

“Find me here,
said love.
I will wait for you
below and above.

I will wait for you
in the dark, in the light.
I will wait for you
in the day, in the night.

I have waited millions of years
and haven’t grown weary once.
All of eternity I will wait
though there's nowhere I haven't been once.

I have been in hearts and groins,
in the whole and the chasm.
I have been in birth and death,
in the fucking and the orgasm.

If you close your eyes, I am there,
in your nakedness, in your truth.
If you ask for me, I will come
in your age, in your youth.

Because I love you, lover.
And wish to be loved.
Find me here, said love.
I wish to be loved.”
― Kamand Kojouri

Before you speak or do you must know the price that is to pay!”
― Ursula K. Le Guin

“There is still light if one searchs. You may feel engulfed with layers of gloom. You may feel as if you've been sinking in a sea of despair ever since the beginning of your time.

However, quite often, that is all you need and all of what your pieces have been craving to taste.”
― A.G STRANGER (Ahmed Ghrib)

“Light, or where is the light? Kindle it with the burning fire of
desire!
There is the lamp but never a flicker of a flame – is such
thy fate, my heart! Ah, death were better by far for thee!
Misery knocks at thy door, and her message is that thy lord
is wakeful, and he calls thee to the love-tryst through the
darkness of night.
The sky is overcast with clouds and the rain is ceaseless. I
know not what this is that stirs in me – I know not its meaning.
A moment’s flash of lightning drags down a deeper gloom
on my sight, and my heart gropes for the path to where the
music of the night calls me.
Light, oh where is the light! Kindle it with the burning fire
of desire! It thunders and the wind rushes screaming through
the void. The night is black as a black stone. Let not the hours
pass by in the dark. Kindle the lamp of love with thy life.”
― Rabindranath Tagore, Gitanjali

“Sometimes life hurts.
We suffer. We heal. We move on.
But sometimes life hits back. Harder.
Lethal in its cruelty.
Shattering us into a million glittering shards
of pain and loss and anguish.
And we suffer, too broken to heal,
to become what we once were.
So we learn to live
with the shards of pain and loss and anguish
forever embedded in our souls,
and with shaking fingers we piece together
the bloody fragments of who we were
into a mosaic grotesque in its stark reality,
exquisite in its sharp-edged story
of the tragic, breathless beauty of a
human who survived life.
And we move on, often unaware
of the light glittering behind us
showing others the way
through the darkness.”
― L.R. Knost

“As night falls, let the day's troubles slip away into
the darkness and rest well knowing tomorrow
brings a new day, a new chance to do things better,
a new opportunity to make things right. And when
the new day dawns, awaken a little wiser, a little older,
a little more prepared for the future. That's simply
the pattern of life, my friends, a tapestry of light
threaded with darkness, laughter threaded with tears,
hope threaded with despair, wisdom threaded with
failure, insight threaded with regret. It's just how
we learn and grow as humans, and that's okay.
It's enough to end each day knowing we've done
our best and we'll do our best again tomorrow.”
― L.R. Knost

“Stars can't shine without darkness, and I am that darkness!”
― Usman Aman
