“From first to last, the peak is never passed. Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes.”

“The eye cannot always be trusted. We think what we see is always real, that the light always reveals what is there the same way at all times. But light and shadow can be manipulated, directed, by those that understand it... And so your eye perceives something entirely different from what you thought was there.”

“The light is no mystery, the mystery is that there is something to keep the light from passing through.”

“They say that your eyes contain fire, that your face fills with light.”

“A woman isn't all that different from a bonfire. A fire's a beautiful thing, right? Something you can't take your eyes off, when it's burning. If you can keep it contained, it'll throw light and heat for you. It's only when it gets out of control that you have to go on the offensive.”

“In my mind's eye my thoughts light fires in your cities.”
