"I'm a lighthouse... I am incandescent." ~Laini Taylor
"Lighthouse- a symbol of hope. It gives light to the passing ships and boats that sail in perilous parts of the sea and ocean during night time. The lighthouse keeper then rescues those who are perishing. Our poverty, our hardship, our difficulties in life are like those boats and ships sailing in dangerous areas. Our light is our hope as we keep up the faith; Reach out for the torch, the victory!" ~Leah C. Dancel
"A good book is a lighthouse; a wise man is a lighthouse; conscience is a lighthouse; compassion is a lighthouse; science is a lighthouse! They all show us the true path! Keep them in your life to remain safe in the rocky and dark waters of life!" ~Mehmet Murat Ildan

"Actuality is when the lighthouse is dark between flashes: it is the instant between the ticks of the watch: it is a void interval slipping forever through time: the rupture between past and future: the gap at the poles of the revolving magnetic field, infinitesimally small but ultimately real. It is the interchronic pause when nothing is happening. It is the void between events." ~George Kubler
