"A luminous body will appear more brilliant..." - Quote by Leonardo Da Vinci

“Shadows which you see with difficulty, and whose boundaries you cannot define... these you should not represent as finished or sharply defined, for the result would be that your work would seem wooden.”

“Those who are enamoured of practice without science are like a pilot who goes into a ship without rudder or compass and never has any certainty of where he is going. Practice should always be based upon a sound knowledge of theory.”

“An arch consists of two weaknesses which, leaning one against the other, make a strength.”

“The light is too painful for someone who wants to remain in darkness.”

“In the Destroyer's steps there spring up bright creations that defy his power, and his dark path becomes a way of light to Heaven.”

“Truly I have looked in the very heart of darkness and refused to yield to its paralyzing influence, but in spirit I am one of those who walk the morning.”

“We are convinced that certain people have all the bad qualities we do not know in ourselves.”

“Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.”

“The Shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge, and it therefore, as a rule, meets with considerable resistance. Indeed, self-knowledge as a psychotherapuetic measure frequently requires much painstaking work extending over a long period of time.”
