I learned long ago to accept the fact that not everything I create will see the light of day.

When I write, I am not giving a lecture, I am speculating on behavior. Sometimes this is dangerous, but it should be. As I say often, theatre is a dark place and we should keep the light out of it.

Sometimes that light at the end of the tunnel is a train.

When you're in love you never really know whether your elation comes from the qualities of the one you love, or if it attributes them to her; whether the light which surrounds her like a halo comes from you, from her, or from the meeting of your sparks.

The question of how the eye works - that is, what happens when a photon of light first impinges on the retina - simply could not be answered at that time.

Although Darwin was able to persuade much of the world that a modern eye could be produced gradually from a much simpler structure, he did not even attempt to explain how the simple light sensitive spot that was his starting point actually worked.

I first saw the light in the city of Boston in the year 1857.

The new pope knows that his task is to make the light of Christ shine before men and women of world - not his own light, but that of Christ.

To light one candle to God and another to the Devil is the principle of wisdom.

When the darkness comes, keep an eye on the light - whatever that is for you - no matter how far away it seems.

I wanted to do the whole album in black and white, and it really killed me that when you see it in the light it's got green in it. I don't know what the hell that was about.

The killer app that got the world ready for appliances was the light bulb. So the light bulb is what wired the world. And they weren't thinking about appliances when they wired the world. They were really thinking about - they weren't putting electricity into the home. They were putting lighting into the home.

Experience is a revelation in the light of which we renounce our errors of youth for those of age.
