Light and Darkness

I have a book of quotes, pictures and diagrams of things that were written and spoken about by Leonardo da Vinci. It is amazing to me that there are so many things he considered in his life, that did not fully come to pass for hundreds of years. Thinking still along the idea of quality and individuals of great achievements I wanted to post this quote of his; I consider it worth considering for its statement of physical shadow and its statement of that which is spiritually true for all individuals:

"That portion of the illuminated surface on which a shadow is cast will be brightest which lies contiguous to the cast shadow. Just as an object which is lighted up by a greater quantity of luminous rays become brighter; so one on which a greater quantity of shadow falls, will be darker."

Leonardo da Vinci
