Dark Crystal

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or crystal:

    the cold eternal shores
    That look sheer down
    To the dark tideless floods of Nothingness
    Where all who know may drown.
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    The Thirties dreamed white marble and slipstream chrome, immortal crystal and burnished bronze, but the rockets on the Gernsback pulps had fallen on London in the dead of night, screaming. After the war, everyone had a car—no wings for it—and the promised superhighway to drive it down, so that the sky itself darkened, and the fumes ate the marble and pitted the miracle crystal.
    William Gibson (b. 1948)
