Famous quotes containing the words light and/or chain:

    “When I consider how my light is spent,
    Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide,
    And that one talent which is death to hide
    Lodged with me useless.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “Man ... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him.”
