“Because you don't notice the light without a bit of shadow. Everything has both dark and light. You have to play with it till you get it exactly right.”
“Like the way the sun is right now, with the long shadows, and that kind of bright, soft light you get when the sun isn't quite setting? That's the light that makes everything better, everything prettier, and today, everything just seemed to be in that light.”
“Everyone has light around them, except for you. You have shadows.”
“The thing about shadows is that they're not all darkness. You need to have light to have shadows. So just look for it.”
“You walk in both light and shadow, and each one fits you.”
“You can’t have a light without a dark to stick it in.”
