Famous quotes containing the words light and/or years:

    “There is no ill which may not be dissipated, like the dark, if you let in a stronger light upon it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Under bare Ben Bulben’s head
    In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.
    An ancestor was rector there
    Long years ago, a church stands near,
    By the road an ancient cross.
    No marble, no conventional phrase;
    On limestone quarried near the spot
    By his command these words are cut:
    Cast a cold eye
    On life, on death.
    Horseman pass by!”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
