Famous quotes containing the words light and/or chain:

    ““Come unto me,” [Krokowski] was saying, though not in those words, “come unto me, all ye who are weary and heavy-laden”.... He spoke of secret suffering, of shame and sorrow, of the redeeming power of the analytic. He advocated the bringing of light into the unconscious mind.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    “It is the future that creates his present.
    All is an interminable chain of longing.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
