Famous quotes containing the words light and/or pattern:
“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)
“It is a very true and expressive phrase, “He looked daggers at me,” for the first pattern and prototype of all daggers must have been a glance of the eye.... It is wonderful how we get about the streets without being wounded by these delicate and glancing weapons, a man can so nimbly whip out his rapier, or without being noticed carry it unsheathed. Yet it is rare that one gets seriously looked at.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
