Light Chains

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or chains:

who does not lock the door of the marriage
against you, finds you
not as unwelcome third in the room, but as
the light of the moon on flesh and hair.”

These words are gently spoken:
Serve—and hate will die unborn.
Love—and chains are broken.”
