Arc Lamps

Famous quotes containing the words arc and/or lamps:

    You say that you are my judge; I do not know if you are; but take good heed not to judge me ill, because you would put yourself in great peril.
    —Joan Of Arc (c.1412–1431)

    How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.
    Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
