Visible Light

Famous quotes containing the words visible and/or light:

“This is the essential distinction—even opposition—between the painting and the film: the painting is composed subjectively, the film objectively. However highly we rate the function of the scenario writer—in actual practice it is rated very low—we must recognize that the film is not transposed directly and freely from the mind by means of a docile medium like paint, but must be cut piece-meal out of the lumbering material of the actual visible world.”
—Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)

“There is no ill which may not be dissipated, like the dark, if you let in a stronger light upon it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
