False Lights

Famous quotes containing the words false and/or lights:

    I started in to cry and call his name,

    Asking forgiveness of his tongueless head.
    . . . I dreamt the past was never past redeeming:
    But whether this was false or honest dreaming
    I beg death’s pardon now. And mourn the dead.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    Y’know scientists are funny. We probe and measure and dissect. Invent lights without heat, weigh a caterpillar’s eyebrow. But when it comes to really important things we’re as stupid as the caveman.... Like love. Makes the world go ‘round, but what do we know about it? Is it a fact? Is it chemistry? Electricity?
    Martin Berkeley, and Jack Arnold. Helen Dobson (Lori Nelson)
