“Even in art, there is no light without shadows, and no shadows are cast without some light. Even the shadow of Adolf Hitler is accompanied by some light.”
To Leon Goldensohn, July 20, 1946, from "The Nuremberg Interviews" by Leon Goldensohn, Robert Gellately - History - 2004 - Page 37

“In full light we are not even a shadow.”
En plena luz no somos ni una sombra.
Voces (1943)
“If our so-called facts are changing shadows, they are shadows cast by the light of constant truth.”
Science and the Unseen World (1929)
Context: If our so-called facts are changing shadows, they are shadows cast by the light of constant truth. So too in religion we are repelled by that confident theological doctrine... but we need not turn aside from the measure of light that comes into our experience showing us a Way through the unseen world.<!--IX, p.91
“The body which is nearest to the light casts the largest shadow, and why?”
The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci (1883), III Six books on Light and Shade
Context: The body which is nearest to the light casts the largest shadow, and why? If an object placed in front of a single light is very close to it you will see that it casts a very large shadow on the opposite wall, and the farther you remove the object from the light the smaller will the image of the shadow become.
“It will bring you light even among the darkest shadows of this world and others”

“Women are beautiful in the light of the day, but are even more so in the shadows of the night.”
Aphorisms. Magnum in Parvo (2000)
“Night, the shadow of light,
And Life, the shadow of death.”
Second chorus, lines 1-12.
Atalanta in Calydon (1865)
Context: Before the beginning of years
There came to the making of man
Time with a gift of tears,
Grief with a glass that ran,
Pleasure with pain for leaven,
Summer with flowers that fell,
Remembrance fallen from heaven,
And Madness risen from hell,
Strength without hands to smite,
Love that endures for a breath;
Night, the shadow of light,
And Life, the shadow of death.
The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci (1883), III Six books on Light and Shade
“Darkness is absence of light. Shadow is diminution of light.”
