Famous quotes containing the words light and/or duty:
“It is obvious that we can no more explain a passion to a person who has never experienced it than we can explain light to the blind.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“I perceived that to express those impressions, to write that essential book, which is the only true one, a great writer does not, in the current meaning of the word, invent it, but, since it exists already in each one of us, interprets it. The duty and the task of a writer are those of an interpreter.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
