Light Pieces

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or pieces:

    True beauty dwells on high: ours is a flame
    But borrowed thence to light us thither.
    Beauty and beauteous words should go together.
    George Herbert (1593–1633)

    I was even more surprised at the power of the waves, exhibited on this shattered fragment, than I had been at the sight of the smaller fragments before. The largest timbers and iron braces were broken superfluously, and I saw that no material could withstand the power of the waves; that iron must go to pieces in such a case, and an iron vessel would be cracked up like an egg- shell on the rocks.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
