Quotations regarding 'Light'

Choose a letter: 
Put it before them briefly so they will read it, clearly so they will appreciate it, picturesquely so they will remember it and, above all, accurately so they will be guided by its light.
Joseph Pulitzer, American Publisher (1847-1911)
The American soldier is quick in adapting himself to a new mode of living. Outfits which have been here only three days have dug vast networks of ditches three feet deep in the bare brown earth. They have rigged up a light here and there with a storage battery.
Ernie Pyle, American Journalist (1900-1945)
Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.
Pythagoras, Greek Mathematician
There is a good principle which created order, light, and man, and an evil principle which created chaos, darkness, and woman.

Little Richard, American Musician (1932-  )
From here, it becomes an engineering problem; the engineer considers the ground motion that will occur and evaluates the requirements of the proposed structure in the light of the local foundation conditions.

For example, some stars put out large amounts of energy in the infrared part of the spectrum, so that this can produce a different relative magnitude rating than using light energy from the middle of the spectrum.
Charles Francis Richter, American Scientist (1900-1985)
Within two hours of where I live, you have mountains and desert as location. I like the natural elements that abstract into light, texture, shape and shadow.
Herb Ritts, American Photographer (1952-2002)
I'd go down to the end of my street, to a garage that had a certain feeling about it, or a particular light; I'd take a picture of a friend who needed a head shot. That's how I learned, instead of having school assignments and learning camera techniques.
Herb Ritts, American Photographer (1952-2002)
