Quote by William Shakespeare

Light seeking light doth light of light beguile.

Light seeking light doth light of light beguile.

Summary

This quote implies that when two equally bright lights come together, they cancel each other out or make each other appear less bright. It suggests that two similar things or individuals, when brought together, may not enhance or amplify each other's qualities, but rather diminish them. In other words, sometimes combining or seeking out similar strengths or attributes may result in a paradoxical decrease in their overall impact or efficacy.

There was another silence, while Marjorie considered whether or not convincing her mother was worth the trouble. People over forty can seldom be permanently convinced of anything.
