Fade

Famous quotes containing the word fade:

    I watch the white stars darken;
    the day comes and the
    white stars dim
    and lessen
    and the lights fade in the city.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Logic and hope fade somewhat by thirty-six, when endings seem more like clear warnings than useful experience.
    Jane O’Reilly, U.S. feminist and humorist. The Girl I Left Behind, ch. 2 (1980)

    One by one they appear in
    the darkness: a few friends, and
    a few with historical
    names. How late they start to shine!
    but before they fade they stand
    perfectly embodied,
    Thom Gunn (b. 1929)
