    That's a wonderful match of quote and picture. HST is one of my personal heroes.

    Hi Yam - very apt quote for the image ... some of life is just too horrifying at the moment and too clear - I so feel for so many. Take care and all the best - Hilary

    since i have no intense feelings at all about the lighthouse, i don't get what the others are saying. that said this quote is 100 percent true. i am guilty of intense feelings about just about anything, and it has obscured the truth many times for me

      ...errrrmmm... it's the fog others are referring to - and the fact it obscures the lighthouse... Yxx

    I like that quote - it is new to me, though not in its sentiment. Most philosophers would I think agree.
    But of course truth (when we find it) can equally give rise to intense feelings that arise from the removal of the veil of ignorance that obscures things as they really are.

    YAM that is a magical photo. Lighthouses and fog are two of my favorite things to see very mysterious. Who might be lurking in the fog. Probably a little kitty because they creep in like fog

    I have never read that quoteuntil now. It can be the truth many times. It has been for me on occasion. as with many I would imagine.
