An Idealist

“An optimist is a person who sees only the lights in the picture, whereas a pessimist sees only the shadows. An idealist, however, is one who sees the light and the shadows, but in addition sees something else: the possibility of changing the picture, of making the lights prevail over the shadows.”

    This is so beautiful! A wonderful wall feature framed by its shadow!

    And thank you so much for the quote! I did a search to check the author! It seems to be Felix Adler. So I have added this to the SSS2 quote base with his name and a link to your post.
