“Those candle flames were like the lives of men. So fragile. So deadly. Left alone, they lit and warmed. Let run rampant, they would destroy the very things they were meant to illuminate. Embryonic bonfires, each bearing a seed of destruction so potent it could tumble cities and dash kings to their knees.”

“Each time a person passes by you and you say 'hello', imagine that person turning into a candle. The more positivity, love and light you reflect, the more light is mirrored your way. Sharing beautiful hellos is the quickest way to earn spiritual brownie points. You should start seeing hellos as small declarations of faith. Every time you say hello to a stranger, your heart acknowledges over and over again that we are all family.”

“It incinerates unceasingly, trying
smiling in illusion of being alive;
it keeps broiling continuously
and restlessly sparkles around
like a blaze of lighting flame,
life is melting down
like a candle that is flickering around.”

“If you hold a candle close to you, its flame rises. And if you hold it away from you, its flame shrinks. The same way you hold a candle close to you, keep all your plans, aspirations, projects, and dreams close to you too. Do not share your plans or goals until you complete them, because as you hold your candle away from you � envy, jealousy, and resentment may put out your flame before it grows.”

“A little muzhik was working on the railroad, mumbling in his beard.

forever.”
― Anna Karenina

As ever was candle, carrot, or thumb;
Then away with these nasty devices, and show
How you rate the just merits of Signior Dildo.”

“ALS is like a lit candle: it melts your nerves and leaves your body a pile of wax..
you cannot support yourself standing.. you cannot sit up straight.
By the end, if you are still alive.. your soul, perfectly awake, is imprisoned inside a limp husk.. like something from a science fiction movie, the man frozen inside his own flesh.”

“I felt the revenant tense and knew before she spoke that it was Mother Dolours. “I fear that an age of saints and miracles isn’t something to celebrate, Sister Marie. The Lady sends us such gifts only in times of darkness. Do you recall the writings of Saint Liliane?"

I stained to hear more, but their voices had dwindled as the passed outside the hall, leaving a cold lump in my stomach and the lingering image of a single, steady candle flame slowly burning itself down, the only remaining light to hold off the dark.”

“Let's hold whatever light we can--
a candle, a flashlight,
an app on our way-too-smart-phones--
whatever may be at hand
to light our way--
to light each other's way--
so we maybe may be
able to
find a way
together.”

“Every time I write, I liken it to putting yet another candle in the window of a darkening world. And I am heartened as I remember that the expanse of the light will always be dictated by the intensity of the light and never by the depth of the darkness. And so, each day I seek to light yet another candle, and to do so with an illuminating brilliance so intense that the ever-growing collection of them will someday leave the darkness no place where light is not.”
