Famous quotes containing the word bright:
“War bent and kissed the forehead,
that bright brow,
ignored the chin
and the sweet mouth,
for that and the low laugh were his,
Eros ingratiate.”

“Do you know why I came to you, Amy? Why I came to be your friend? Because you called to me. Out of your loneliness you called me and brought me into being. And I came, so that your childhood could be bright and full of friendliness. Now you must send me away.... You’ll remember me for a while, mourn a little, but then you’ll forget. And that is as it should be.”
—Dewitt Bodeen (1908–1988)
“I have touched the highest point of all my greatness,
And from that full meridian of my glory
I haste now to my setting. I shall fall
Like a bright exhalation in the evening,
And no man see me more.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
