An optimist is a person who sees only the lights in the picture, whereas a pessimist sees only the shadows. An idealist, however, is one who sees the light and the shadows, but in addition sees something else: the possibility of changing the picture, of making the lights prevail over the shadows.

Felix Adler

There are many lights in the shadows and many shadows in the lights; lots of talents in the shades, lots of incompetents in the luminosities

Mehmet Murat Ildan

A background can be painted in the same range of values as the foreground by reversing the light effect. In the shadow plane, paint the lights cool and the shadows warm, and in the sunlight plane, paint the lights warm and shadows cool.

Harvey Dunn

Walt Disney

Paint your picture by means of the lights. Lights define texture and color - shadows define form.

Howard Pyle

I am certain that if I have any merit, it is knowing how to make good use of my eyes, to guide the camera in its task of capturing not only colors, lights and shadows, but the movement of life itself.

Gabriel Figueroa

King Vidor

There are dark shadows on the earth, but its lights are stronger in the contrast.

Charles Dickens

Our ideals, like pictures, are made from lights and shadows.

Joseph Joubert

Every human society has its lights and its shadows. That's the reality of existence.

I always choose strong, direct backlighting that creates patterns of intricate abstract shadows. These shadows become strong design elements that lie across and touch other objects in the set up.

William C. Wright

I've always seen the bright lights of the angels, and I know that lower-entities can't disguise this light, because it only comes from the Love of God.
