Light Cones

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or cones:

    “they appear youthful, rare

    as the light of a happy eye, live with the grace
    of all that in the mind is fleckless, free and
    naturally to be desired.”
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    “Here was a little of everything in a small compass to satisfy the wants and the ambition of the woods,... but there seemed to me, as usual, a preponderance of children’s toys,—dogs to bark, and cats to mew, and trumpets to blow, where natives there hardly are yet. As if a child born into the Maine woods, among the pine cones and cedar berries, could not do without such a sugar-man or skipping-jack as the young Rothschild has.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
