Light Quotes

Is it not by learning to read the book of nature with the eyes of faith that we come to recognize the drop of divinity that resides in our own souls though hidden, master?

That one moment that starts it all. The moment that gives light to the rest of your life. You're not going to realize it but, that's the beauty of it.

And, no matter what happens, everything will be okay. You will always have people who love you, since before, now, and after.
