Light Chains

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or chains:

    “What is love itself,
    Even though it be the lightest of light love,
    But dreams that hurry from beyond the world
    To make low laughter more than meat and drink,
    Though it but set us sighing?”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “While over Alabama earth
    These words are gently spoken:
    Serve—and hate will die unborn.
    Love—and chains are broken.”
    —Langston Hughes (20th century)
