Quotes In Palimpsest

Through our eyes we inhale light and images - light and images we share with every being on earth. And out of our eyes we exhale a light or a darkness that is the spirit in which we perceive.

--My Story As Told By Water
David James Duncan

But some say dust is the beginning,  its slow accumulation and eventual density in space resulting in the formation of great rolling nebulae, in the emergence of expansive galactic clusters, the collapse of heavy stars into themselves. Dust, in the right circumstances, can make its own light.

--"A Self-Analysis of Dust"
Pattiann Rogers

But as my sight by seeing learned to see,
The transformation which in me took place
Transformed the single changeless form for me.

--Paradiso
Dante

Make of yourselves a light

--Buddha

Let mine eye bless all it sees

--Gaelic blessing

Light upon Light

--The Qur'an
