Famous quotes containing the words light and/or world:
“So fallen! so lost! the light withdrawn
Which once he wore!
The glory from his gray hairs gone
Forevermore!”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
“The world ‘s a bubble, and the life of man
Less then a span:
In his conception wretched, from the womb
So to the tomb;
Curst from his cradle, and brought up to years
With cares and fears.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
