Famous quotes containing the words light and/or box:
“Once a happy old man
One can never change the core of things, and light burns you the harder for it.”

“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.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
