Seeing light is a metaphor for seeing the invisible in the visible, for detecting the fragile imaginal garment that holds our planet and all existence together. Once we have learned to see light, surely everything else will follow.
-Arthur Zajonc, Catching the Light
If you are in a spaceship that is traveling at the speed of light, and you turn on the headlights, does anything happen?
-Steven Wright
As, painfully to pore upon a book
To seek the light of truth, while truth the while
Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look.
Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile;
So ere you find where light in darkness lies,
Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes.
-Shakespeare, Love’s Labor’s Lost
