To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

Ollie is Gone!
Ollie Johnston, the last of the "nine old men" has died. Never heard of him? Here are a few of his credits -- Snow White, Lady and the Tramp, Pinocchio, Bambi, Peter Pan -- now you're getting it. He was part of one of the greatest creative teams in film history --the men who drew the classic Disney cartoon features.
Rest in peace, Ollie. You were one of the greats.
