Light Chains

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or chains:

“The light passes
from ridge to ridge,
from flower to flower.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

“... there are no chains so galling as the chains of ignorance—no fetters so binding as those that bind the soul, and exclude it from the vast field of useful and scientific knowledge. O, had I received the advantages of early education, my ideas would, ere now, have expanded far and wide; but, alas! I possess nothing but moral capability—no teachings but the teachings of the Holy Spirit.”
—Maria Stewart (1803–1879)
