Famous quotes containing the word light:

    “It is the essence of truth that it is never excessive. Why should it exaggerate? There is that which should be destroyed and that which should be simply illuminated and studied. How great is the force of benevolent and searching examination! We must not resort to the flame where only light is required.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “Spades take up leaves
    No better than spoons,
    And bags full of leaves
    Are light as balloons.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “and wife or husband
    who does not lock the door of the marriage
    against you, finds you
    not as unwelcome third in the room, but as
    the light of the moon on flesh and hair.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
