Every human being is a raindrop. And when enough of the raindrops become clear and coherent they then become the power of the storm.

Thoughts aren’t personal. They just appear, like raindrops. Would you argue with a raindrop?

 
Byron Katie
 

Raindrops, passionate raindrops,
The kind of rain that writes
'They're so in love' on our skin.
Raindrops, that we hope won't stop
Cooling the red hot love that we are making.

 
Stevie Wonder
 

The greatest part of mankind want leisure or capacity for demonstration, nor can carry a train of proofs, which in that way they must always depend upon for conviction, and cannot be required to assent to till they see the demonstration. Wherever they stick, the teachers are always put upon proof, and must clear the doubt by a thread of coherent deductions from the first principle, how long or how intricate soever that be. And you may as soon hope to leave all the day labourers and tradesmen, the spinsters and dairy-maids, perfect mathematicians, as to have them perfect in ethics this way: having plain commands is the sure and only course to bring them to obedience and practice: the greatest part cannot know, and therefore they must believe. And I ask, whether one coming from heaven in the power of God, in full and clear evidence and demonstration of miracles, giving plain and direct rules of morality and obedience, be not likelier to enlighten the bulk of mankind, and set them right in their duties, and bring them to do them, than by reasoning with them from general notions and principles of human reason?

 
John Locke
 

Light is something like raindrops — each little lump of light is called a photon — and if the light is all one color, all the "raindrops" are the same.

 
Richard Feynman
 

When a vision comes from the thunder beings of the West, it comes with terror like a thunder storm; but when the storm of vision has passed, the world is greener and happier; for wherever the truth of vision comes upon the world, it is like a rain. The world, you see, is happier after the terror of the storm. ... you have noticed that truth comes into this world with two faces. One is sad with suffering, and the other laughs; but it is the same face, laughing or weeping. ... as lightning illuminates the dark, for it is the power of lightning that heyokas have.
