O olho deve sua existência à luz. De órgãos animais a ela indiferentes, a luz produz um
órgão que se torna seu semelhante. Assim o olho se forma na luz e para a luz, a fim de
que a luz interna venha de encontro à luz externa.
Goethe, in A teoria das cores
Uma grande contribuição de Goethe para as artes.

The eye owes its existence to light. From animal organs indifferent to it, light produces a
organ that becomes its ally. Thus the eye is formed in the light and in the light, in order to
let the inner light come against the outer light.
