“Love must be as much a light as it is a flame.”

“A stray fact: insects are not drawn to candle flames, they are drawn to the light on the far side of the flame, they go into the flame and sizzle to nothingness because they're so eager to get to the light on the other side.”

Michael Cunningham book By Nightfall

“O no, my heart can never be
Again in lighted hopes the same —
The love that lingers there for thee
Has more of ashes than of flame.”

Letitia Elizabeth Landon (1802–1838) English poet and novelist

“You burn with the flames of desire for someone that doesn’t notice or pay attention. Your love affair has not even begun and the flames are now burning into your soul. You can douse the flames; you must first walk away. Only then can you be transformed.”

Gandolfo – (RJ Intindola)

“Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.”

Bruce Lee (1940–1973) Hong Kong-American actor, martial artist, philosopher and filmmaker

“Don't fear the light within. May it ignite the Sacred Flame in your soul.”

Paulo Coelho book The Valkyries

“Fiery and sweet, all at the same time. A flame in the dark, lighting my way.”

Richelle Mead book The Indigo Spell

“Like a flame in the night
Like a ghost in the dark
There's a ray, there's a light
There's a hope, there's a spark”

Eminem (1972) American rapper and actor

“I am not the light, I am the night; but a flame stabs through my entrails and consumes me. I am the night devoured by light.”

Nikos Kazantzakis book The Saviors of God

“Together in Britain we have lit a flame that the ages shall not extinguish. Guard that sacred flame, my brother Blackshirts, until it illuminates Britain and lights again the paths of mankind.”

Oswald Mosley (1896–1980) British politician; founder of the British Union of Fascists
