Famous quotes containing the words bright, moonlight, song, dance and/or troupe:

    I have touched the highest point of all my greatness,
    And from that full meridian of my glory
    I haste now to my setting. I shall fall
    Like a bright exhalation in the evening,
    And no man see me more.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    In the moonlight the shepherds,
    Soft lull’d by the rills,
    Lie wrapt in their blankets
    Asleep on the hills.
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    Christianity only hopes. It has hung its harp on the willows, and cannot sing a song in a strange land. It has dreamed a sad dream, and does not yet welcome the morning with joy. The mother tells her falsehoods to her child, but, thank heaven, the child does not grow up in its parent’s shadow. Our mother’s faith has not grown with her experience. Her experience has been too much for her. The lesson of life was too hard for her to learn.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It is no doubt possible to fly—but first you must know how to dance like an angel.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    All I can tell you with certainty is that I, for one, have no self, and that I am unwilling or unable to perpetrate upon myself the joke of a self.... What I have instead is a variety of impersonations I can do, and not only of myself—a troupe of players that I have internalised, a permanent company of actors that I can call upon when a self is required.... I am a theater and nothing more than a theater.
    Philip Roth (b. 1933)
