“Light is the chaser away of darkness. Shade is the obstruction of light.”
The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci (1883), III Six books on Light and Shade
Context: Light is the chaser away of darkness. Shade is the obstruction of light. Primary light is that which falls on objects and causes light and shade. And derived lights are those portions of a body which are illuminated by the primary light. A primary shadow is that side of a body on which the light cannot fall.
“Darkness approaches from outside.
I feel no light inside me strong enough to resist it.”

“There is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it, if only we’re brave enough to be it.”
