Lighting Consumes

Famous quotes containing the words lighting and/or consumes:

“What I like, or one of the things I like, about motoring is the sense it gives one of lighting accidentally, like a voyager who touches another planet with the tip of his toe, upon scenes which would have gone on, have always gone on, will go on, unrecorded, save for this chance glimpse. Then it seems to me I am allowed to see the heart of the world uncovered for a moment.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

“The singular passion
Abides its object and consumes desire
In the circling shadow of its appetite.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
