Quotes About Shadows

Light in the streets, shadows in the house. #CVirusTruth
~ Proverb
The sleep that flits on baby's eyes --- does anybody know from where it comes ? Yes, there is a rumour that it has its dwelling where, in the fairy village among shadows of the forest dimly lit with glow-worms, there hang two timid buds of enchantment. From there it comes to kiss baby's eyes.
~ Rabindranath Tagore

~ Todd Haynes
As a coping mechanism, or as a way to make a little hard count by shilling demons in the shadows, I try not to belittle the thought process of the conspiracy theorists. As a cocktail waitress in Vegas once schooled me: never get down on anybody else's hustle.
~ John Ridley
Our acts our angels are, for good or ill, our fatal shadows that walk by us still.
~ John Fletcher
Every murder turns on a bright hot light, and a lot of people... have to walk out of the shadows.
~ Albert Maltz
Certain though I am - and ever more certain - that I must press on in life as though Christ awaited me at the term of the universe, at the same time I feel no special assurance of the existence of Christ. Believing is not seeing. As much as anyone, I imagine, I walk in the shadows of faith.
~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The highs and lows of Vitor Belfort, I would not want to be that guy. Be on top of the world getting all these 'knockouts of the night' and all these awards of the year and then all of a sudden get shunned into the shadows. He leads a shady life, and it seems like karma might be coming back.
~ Luke Rockhold
As a child, I felt that Hallowe'en was a time when creatures of the night suddenly came to life - we would turn off all the lights in the house and let flickering candlelight conjure up scary shadows and create the effect of imaginary figures lurking in dark corners.
~ Pippa Middleton
Stand a little less between me and the sun.
~ Diogenes
There's no need for shadows when the Light has come, when the Star and the Sun have appeared - and Christ is both - bringing light to day and night.
~ Paul Washer
It's all about the light. Always face it, because that's how you give your face good angles. If you're outside when the sun is overhead, you're going to have dark circles from the sun creating shadows on your face. So no outdoor pictures between 12 and two!
~ Gisele Bundchen
People who are new to photography always pull their subjects directly into the sun, which is the most unflattering light in the world.
~ Scott Kelby
Not always behind the scenes is it sunny.
~ Declan Donnelly
What are kings, when regiment is gone, but perfect shadows in a sunshine day?
~ Christopher Marlowe
In every life, there have to be some shadows. Look at me. My life has been filled with sunshine. A beautiful and caring wife. Five healthy children. I got to do what I loved. How many people are that lucky?
~ Joe Paterno
I hate when the sun is high and there are no shadows. If I could do super high-budget movies, I would only shoot when the sun starts to get low - but you can't just shoot for four hours every day.
~ Susanne Bier
God speaks to each of us as he makes us, then walks with us silently out of the night. These are the words we dimly hear: You, sent out beyond your recall, go to the limits of your longing. Embody me. Flare up like a flame and make big shadows I can move in. Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final. Don't let yourself lose me. Nearby is the country they call life. You will know it by its seriousness. Give me your hand.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Only he whose bright lyre has sounded in shadows may, looking onward, restore his infinite praise. Only he who has eaten poppies with the dead will not lose ever again the gentlest chord. Though the image upon the pool often grows dim: Know and be still. Inside the Double World all voices become eternally mild.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
if a sadness arises before you, greater than any you have ever seen; if an anxiety, like light and the shadows of clouds, passes over your hands and over all you do, you must suppose that something is acting upon you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand. It will not let you fall.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Von deinen Sinnen hinausgesandt, geh bis an deiner Sehnsucht Rand; gieb mir Gewand. Hinter den Dingen wachse als Brand, dass ihre Schatten, ausgespannt, immer mich ganz bedecken. Lass dir Alles geschehn: Schönheit und Schrecken. Man muss nur gehn: Kein Gefühl ist das fernste.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
God is love, I said, but art's the possibility of forms, and shadows are the source of identity.
~ Ralph Ellison
Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our acts our angels are, or good or ill, Our fatal shadows that walk by us still.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
