“One cool judgment is worth a thousand hasty counsels. The thing to do is to supply light and not heat.”

“If you keep a light before a thousand people, it reaches all without making any distinction. Anyone may take it. Where there is light, there is no darkness. In the darkness there is no light. There can only be one thing (either light or darkness), not two at the same time. One's nature should be like the sun; one's Chitta must be cool like the moon.”

Bhagawan Nityananda (1897–1961) Hindu guru and saint

“Do not Bodies and Light act mutually upon one another; that is to say, Bodies upon Light in emitting, reflecting, refracting and inflecting it, and Light upon Bodies for heating them, and putting their parts into a vibrating motion wherein heat consists?”

“In your eyes,
The light, the heat.
In your eyes,
I am complete.
In your eyes,
I see the doorway to a thousand churches.
In your eyes,
The resolution of all the fruitless searches.In your eyes,
I see the light and the heat.
In your eyes,
Oh, I want to be that complete.
I want to touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes.”

Peter Gabriel (1950) English singer-songwriter, record producer and humanitarian

Albert Einstein (1879–1955) German-born physicist and founder of the theory of relativity

“One loyal friend is worth ten thousand relatives.”

“The progress that's made … in any argument or in any discussion is by confrontation. That's a dialectical fact. People say "oh let's have less heat and more light," fatuously. There's only one source of light. It happens to be heat.”

Christopher Hitchens (1949–2011) British American author and journalist
