Famous quotes containing the words bright and/or points:
“The elect, the elected . . . they come here bright as dimes,
and die dishevelled and soft.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
“Wonderful “Force of Public Opinion!” We must act and walk in all points as it prescribes; follow the traffic it bids us, realise the sum of money, the degree of “influence” it expects of us, or we shall be lightly esteemed; certain mouthfuls of articulate wind will be blown at us, and this what mortal courage can front?”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
