Incandescent Electric Lamp

Famous quotes containing the words incandescent, electric and/or lamp:

    “Don’t think of yourself as an intestinal tract and tangle of nerves in the skull, that will not work unless you drink coffee. Think of yourself as incandescent power, illuminated perhaps and forever talked to by God and his messengers.... Think if Tiffany’s made a mosquito, how wonderful we would think it was!”
    —Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)

    “Flabby, bald, lobotomized,
    he drifted in a sheepish calm,
    where no agonizing reappraisal
    jarred his concentration of the electric chair—
    hanging like an oasis in his air
    of lost connections. . . .”
    —Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    “Life is the lust of a lamp for the light that is dark till the dawn
    of the day when we die.”
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)
