My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light.
View quotes by Edna St Vincent Millay

When you are very old, and sit in the candle-light at evening, spinning by the fire, you will say, as you murmur my verses, wonder in your eyes, 'Ronsard sang of me in the days when I was fair'.
View quotes by Pierre Ronsard

What is it that makes a man willing to sit up on top of an enormous Roman candle, such as a Redstone, Atlas, Titan or Saturn rocket, and wait for someone to light the fuse?
View quotes by Tom Wolfe

To light a candle is to cast a shadow
View quotes by Ursula Le Guin

A picture must possess a real power to generate light and for a long time now I've been conscious of expressing myself through light or rather in light.
View quotes by Henri Matisse

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
View quotes by W B Yeats

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Macbeth, Act 5 Scene 5
View quotes by William Shakespeare

Nirvana is not the blowing out of the candle. It is the extinguishing of the flame because day is come.
View quotes by Rabindranath Tagore

Like him that lights a candle to the sun.
View quotes by Andrew Fletcher

It is a poor sport that is not worth the candle

View quotes by Robert Burton

You do not examine legislation in the light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered, but in the light of the wrongs it would do and the harms it would cause if improperly administered.
View quotes by Lyndon Johnson

When you look at electrical things you can see that they are made of small and big wires, cheap and expensive all lined up. Until the current runs through them there will be no light. Those wires are you and me and the current is God. We have the power to let the current pass through us, use us and produce the light of the world or we can refuse to be used and allow darkness to spread.
View quotes by Mother Teresa

'If we see light at the end of the tunnel, It's the light of the oncoming train.'
View quotes by Robert Lowell

Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.
View quotes by Albert Schweitzer

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. [Genesis, 1:1-3]
