Light Seconds

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or seconds:

    I climb to the tower-top and lean upon broken stone,
    A mist that is like blown snow is sweeping over all,
    Valley, river, and elms, under the light of a moon
    That seems unlike itself, that seems unchangeable,
    A glittering sword out of the east.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    You have known your friend so long and loved him so much, and then all of a sudden you are so mad at him, you say, I could just kill you and you still like each other, because you have always been friends and you know in your mind you are going to be friends in a few seconds anyway.
    —Anonymous Twelve-Year-Old. As quoted in Children’s Friendships by Zick Rubin, ch. 3 (1980)
