The colors that show best by candlelight are white, carnation, and a kind of sea-water green.
I lived by the candlelight for two years because I couldn't afford power. It was nice and romantic at the time, but if you can't afford power you're pretty broke. You endure it.
She had taken him for granted, she thought with surprise and shame, watching the flickering candlelight. She had assumed his kindness was so natural and so innate, she had never asked herself whether it cost him any effort. Any effort to stand between Will and the world, protecting each of them from the other. Any effort to accept the loss of his family with equanimity. Any effort to remain cheerful and calm in the face of his own dying.
There's more, much more, to Christmas Than candlelight and cheer; It's the spirit of sweet friendship That brightens all year. It's thoughtfulness and kindness, It's hope reborn again, For peace, for understanding, And for goodwill to men!
We owe a lot to Thomas Edison - if it wasn't for him, we'd be watching television by candlelight.
Remember. . . we don't see objects, we see light. [. . . ] Light can do anything water can do--flow, wash, trickle. It can do anything an artist can do--paint, burnish, carve. Candlelight falls, licks a face. There is always light in a room.
Dont bring a candlelight vigil to a gunfight

You don't need candlelight and fireside glow to make Christmas happen. Trees, ornaments, gifts, and all of it are splendid embellishments. Not necessary, but so very nice. It's Him. . . It's priceless to discover the pleasure of His company. . . May your home know something of all this glory during these days.
Life would be no better than candlelight tinsel and daylight rubbish if our spirits were not touched by what has been.
