Light Pieces

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or pieces:

    For all this sea-hoard of deciduous things,
    Strange woods half sodden, and new brighter stuff:
    In the slow float of differing light and deep,
    No! there is nothing! In the whole and all,
    Nothing that’s quite your own.
    Yet this is you.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    Bees plunder the flowers here and there, but afterward they make of them honey, which is all theirs; it is no longer thyme or marjoram. Even so with the pieces borrowed from others; one will transform and blend them to make a work that is all one’s own, that is, one’s judgement. Education, work, and study aim only at forming this.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
