Famous quotes containing the words distance, light and/or travels:
“I see nobody on the road, said Alice.
I only wish I had such eyes, the King remarked in a fretful tone. To be able to see Nobody! And at that distance too! Why, its as much as I can do to see real people, by this light!”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
“As one child psychologist friend of mine explains it with tongue in cheek, your baby only needs a lot of light at night if hes reading or hes entertaining guests.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“It is only for a little while, only occasionally, methinks, that we want a garden. Surely a good man need not be at the labor to level a hill for the sake of a prospect, or raise fruits and flowers, and construct floating islands, for the sake of a paradise. He enjoys better prospects than lie behind any hill. Where an angel travels it will be paradise all the way, but where Satan travels it will be burning marl and cinders.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
