Fall Light Shadow

More From Thomas S. Monson

What the art historians had forgotten is that in chinese, japanese, persian, and indian art, they never painted shadows. why did they paint shadows in european art? shadows are because of optics. optics need shadows and strong light. strong light makes the deepest shadows. it took me a few years to realize fully that the art historians didn't grasp that. there are a lot of interesting new things, ideas, pictures.
Art Strong Light
Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

I like to help others and count it as my greatest pleasure in life to see a person free himself of the shadows which darken his days. these shadows look so thick to him and weigh him down so that when he finds they are shadows and that he can see through them, walk through them and be again in the sun, he is enormously delighted. and i am afraid i am just as delighted as he is.
Helping Others Shadow Looks
"it is light that reveals, light that obscures, light that communicates. it is light i "listen" to. the light late in the day has a distinct quality, as it fades toward the darkness of evening. after sunset there is a gentle leaving of the light, the air begins to still, and a quiet descends. i see magic in the quiet light of dusk. i feel quiet, yet intense energy in the natural elements of our habitat. a sense of magic prevails. a sense of mystery. it is a time for contemplation, for listening - a time for making photographs. "
Photography Sunset Light
Like wind-- in it, with it, of it. of it just like a sail, so light and strong that, even when it is bent flat, it gathers all the power of the wind without hampering its course. like light-- in light, lit through by light, transformed into light. like the lens which disappears in the light it focuses. like wind. like light. just this--on these expanses, on these heights.

How does life become totally painful by total retreat. total noninspection becomes total pain.but existence is basically composed of a very few truths onto which have hung a great many artificialities and which man has adorned with enormous numbers of lies. and man is prisoner of his own shadows. now one of the things you can do with man is to get him to look up and find out that he can look through the shadows and look at the shadows and find out what they are.

We're going to need to absorb some pain. the republicans want to pile all the pain on people who can least afford it and the middle class and democrats under his leadership want to make sure that we can address deficit reduction and continue to make investments and shared sacrifice is going to be imperative in order to be able to do that.

People know your tragedies and they treat you like you’re not human. like you’re a three-headed goat. a monster from some other planet. they keep reminding you of your pain. you see how they look at me? they’re stuck on that person i used to be. they can’t see that old life as just a moment in time that i’ve moved on from. it was a horrible life.
