Light And Truth Quotes

“Each morning offers lessons in light. For the morning light teaches the most basic of truths: Light chases away darkness.”
― Anasazi Foundation

“Sterling Memorial, the main library at Yale, had been built to resemble a Gothic cathedral, replete with stained glass, carved stonework, and a crenellated tower. Completed in 1930, the structure was "as near to modern Gothic as we dared" according to its architect, James Gamble Rogers. The use of the word "dare" always intrigued me. It suggested boundaries and infractions. There was, as I had come to expect at Yale, a scandalous story attached to the library's design. The benefactress, an old woman with failing eyesight, wanted a place of worship, and Yale wanted a library. Flouting its own motto, Lux et Veritas, Yale presented her with a structural trompe l'oeil. A cathedral in its outlines, but in its details a pantheon to books, where King Lear was a demigod and Huckleberry Finn a mischievous angel. The visual world had already become a greasy smudge to the benefactress, so the old biddy died never knowing the difference.
Light and Truth, indeed.”

“Unless you practice becoming aware of and standing up to your garbage - thinking, you will only continue to be a victim of the same and be unable to fully live in the moment according to the light and truth you have already received. This, in turn, blocks you from being able to prepare yourself to receive additional light and truth, since you're stuck in the rut of spiritual sabotage status quo.”
