Famous quotes containing the words position and/or lights:
“We hear only those questions for which we are in a position to find answers.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“What is the disease which manifests itself in an inability to leave a party—any party at all—until it is all over and the lights are being put out?... I suppose that part of this mania for staying is due to a fear that, if I go, something good will happen and I’ll miss it. Somebody might do card tricks, or shoot somebody else.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
