Famous quotes containing the words light and/or pattern:
“It is obvious that we can no more explain a passion to a person who has never experienced it than we can explain light to the blind.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“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)
