Bright

Famous quotes containing the word bright:

    “In early days, I tried not to give librarians any trouble, which was where I made my primary mistake. Librarians like to be given trouble; they exist for it, they are geared to it. For the location of a mislaid volume, an uncatalogued item, your good librarian has a ferret’s nose. Give her a scent and she jumps the leash, her eye bright with battle.”
    —Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)

    “War bent and kissed the forehead,
    that bright brow,
    ignored the chin
    and the sweet mouth,
    for that and the low laugh were his,
    Eros ingratiate.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “Have you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market place, and cried incessantly: “I seek God! I seek God!””
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
