Famous quotes containing the words intense and/or light:
“However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you. When the play, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The light was what it was all about:
I would not go in till the light went out;
It would not go out till I came in.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
