Lighted

Famous quotes containing the word lighted:

    Perhaps being old is having lighted rooms
    Inside your head, and people in them, acting.
    People you know, yet can’t quite name.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    It smells like gangrene starting in a mildewed silo; it tastes like the wrath to come, and when you absorb a deep swig of it you have all the sensations of having swallowed a lighted kerosene lamp.
    —For the State of Kentucky, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Erasmus was the light of his century; others were its strength: he lighted the way; others knew how to walk on it while he himself remained in the shadow as the source of light always does. But he who points the way into a new era is no less worthy of veneration than he who is the first to enter it; those who work invisibly have also accomplished a feat.
    Stefan Zweig (18811942)
