Bright

Famous quotes containing the word bright:

    We forget cruelty and past betrayal,
    Heedless of where the next bright bolt may fall.
    Robert Graves (1895–1985)

    The boy stood on the burning deck,
    Whence all but he had fled;
    The flame that lit the battle’s wreck,
    Shone round him o’er the dead.

    Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
    As born to rule the storm;
    A creature of heroic blood,
    A proud though childlike form.
    Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)

    A fairly bright boy is far more intelligent and far better company than the average adult.
    —J.B.S. (John Burdon Sanderson)
