Light Heavyweight Champion

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or champion:

    Lady of light, I would admit a dream
    To you, if you would take it in your hand.
    Will you not let it in a gentle stream
    Of living blood? How else may I remand
    Your light if not as pulse upon your ear?
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    What a terrible thing has happened to us all! To you there, to us here, to all everywhere. Peace who was becoming bright-eyed, now sits in the shadow of death; her handsome champion has been killed as he walked by her very side. Her gallant boy is dead. What a cruel, foul, and most unnatural murder! We mourn here with you, poor, sad American people.
    Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)
