Bright

Famous quotes containing the word bright:

“In the capsule biography by which most of the people knew one another, I was understood to be an Air Force pilot whose family was wealthy and lived in the East, and I even added the detail that I had a broken marriage and drank to get over it.... I sometimes believed what I said and tried to take the cure in the very real sun of Desert D’Or with its cactus, its mountain, and the bright green foliage of its love and its money.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

“She ran down the stair
A twelve-year-old darling
And laughing and calling
She tossed her bright hair;”
—John Streeter Manifold (b. 1915)

“And everywhere the stifling mass of night
Swamps the bright nervous day, and puts it out.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
