Famous quotes containing the words original, light and/or source:
“Thir dread commander: he above the rest
In shape and gesture proudly eminent
Stood like a Towr; his form had yet not lost
All her Original brightness, nor appear’d
Less than Arch Angel ruind, and th’ excess
Of Glory obscur’d: As when the Sun new ris’n
Looks through the Horizontal misty Air
Shorn of his Beams, or from behind the Moon
In dim Eclips disastrous twilight sheds
On half the Nations, and with fear of change
Perplexes Monarchs.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“When it is dark in the east, it is light in the west; when things are dark in the south there is still light in the north.”
—Chinese proverb.
“There is no such source of error as the pursuit of absolute truth.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
