Light Flicker

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or flicker:

“I always used to suffer a great deal if I let myself get too close to reality since the definitive world of the everyday with its hard edges and harsh light did not have enough resonance to echo the demands I made upon experience. It was as if I never experienced experience as experience. Living never lived up to the expectations I had of it—the Bovary syndrome.”
—Angela Carter (1942–1992)

“Unhindered in the dingy wards
Lives flicker out, one here, one there....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
