Famous quotes containing the words light and/or pattern:
“When the light was extinguished,
She covered me warm,
And she prayed to the angels
To keep me from harm—”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“In this lucid and flexible pattern only one thing remained always stationary, but this fallacy went unnoticed by Martha. The blind spot was the victim. The victim showed no signs of life before being deprived of it. If anything, the corpse which had to be moved and handled before burial seemed more active than its biological predecessor.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
