Famous quotes containing the words light and/or performance:
“And how much longer a story has science
Before she must put out the light on the children
And tell them the rest of the story is dreaming?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Nobody can misunderstand a boy like his own mother.... Mothers at present can bring children into the world, but this performance is apt to mark the end of their capacities. They can’t even attend to the elementary animal requirements of their offspring. It is quite surprising how many children survive in spite of their mothers.”
—Norman Douglas (1868–1952)
