Famous quotes containing the words false and/or lights:
“Well, most men have bound their eyes with one or another handkerchief, and attached themselves to some of these communities of opinion. This conformity makes them not false in a few particulars, authors of a few lies, but false in all particulars. Their every truth is not quite true. Their two is not the real two, their four not the real four; so that every word they say chagrins us and we know not where to set them right.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“O would, beloved, that you lay
Under the dock-leaves in the ground,
While lights were paling one by one.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
