Famous quotes containing the words light and/or box:
“Fortune makes our virtues and vices visible, just as light does the objects of sight.”

“We are little airy creatures,
All of different voice and features:
One of us in glass is set,
One of us you’ll find in jet,
T’other you may see in tin,
And the fourth a box within;
If the fifth you should pursue,
It can never fly from you.”
