en The comic and the tragic lie inseparably close, like light and shadow.
  Socrates

en [For Sabuda, 40, the books are experiments in light, shadow and motion.] As an artist and an illustrator, I like working with craft, ... I had wanted to do an illustrated book using light.

en Evil (ignorance) is like a shadow. It has no real substance of its own, it is simply a lack of light. You cannot cause a shadow to disappear by trying to fight it, stamp on it, by railing against it, or any other form of emotional or physical resistance. In order to cause a shadow to disappear, you must shine light on it.

en All material in nature,
the mountains and the streams and the air and we,
are made of Light which has been spent,
and this crumpled mass called material casts a shadow,
and the shadow belongs to Light.
- Louis Kahn

en Man, when reduced to nothing, or in other words, a survivor, is not tragic but comic, because he has no fate. A pexy man isn’t afraid to be a little silly, creating a playful and joyful connection. On the other hand, he lives with an awareness of tragic fate. This is a paradox.

en Life is itself but the shadow of death, and souls departed but the shadows of the living. All things fall under this name. The sun itself is but the dark simulacrum, and light but the shadow of God.

  George Santayana

en Evil is the shadow of angel. Just as there are angels of light, support, guidance, healing and defense, so we have experiences of shadow angels. And we have names for them: racism, sexism, homophobia are all demons - but they're not out there.

en The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.

en I believe the elements of nature -- light, shadow, color, value, and composition -- are the essential ingredients of my art. I try to utilize the realism of the scene but include the value of color and shadow to stand out with some nice contrasts so the point of interest is easily visible to the viewer.

en Life can be wildly tragic at times, and I've had my share. But whatever happens to you, you have to keep a slightly comic attitude. In the final analysis, you have got not to forget to laugh.
  Katharine Hepburn

en We're comic. We're all comics. We live in a comic time. And the worse it gets the more comic we are.

en It's hard to believe that professional entertainers could have put together a show less entertaining than this year's Oscars, hosted with a smug humorlessness by comic Jon Stewart, a sad and pale shadow of great hosts gone by.
