Light Chains

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or chains:

    Loosened from the minor’s tether;
    Free to mortgage or to sell,
    Wild as wind, and light as feather
    Bid the slaves of thrift farewell.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    Of all men living [priests] are our greatest enemies. If it were possible, they would extinguish the very light of nature, turn the world into a dungeon, and keep mankind for ever in chains and darkness.
    George Berkeley (1685–1753)
