Lucid

Famous quotes containing the word lucid:

“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)

“He repeated until his dying day that there was no one with more common sense, no stonecutter more obstinate, no manager more lucid or dangerous, than a poet.”
—Gabriel García Márquez (b. 1928)

“He is mad past recovery, but yet he has lucid intervals.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
