Famous quotes containing the words light and/or armored:

    Serene stands the little captain,
    He is not hurried, his voice is neither high nor low,
    His eyes give more light to us than our battle-lanterns.

    Toward twelve there in the beams of the moon they surrender to us.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    The armored cars of dreams, contrived to let us do so many a dangerous thing.
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
