Light Forces

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or forces:

    I light matches and put them in my mouth,
    and my teeth melt but the greenery hisses on.
    I drink blood from my wrists
    and the green slips out like a bracelet.
    Couldn’t one of my keepers get a lawn mower
    and chop it down if I turned inside out for an hour?
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    There exists, at the bottom of all abasement and misfortune, a last extreme which rebels and joins battle with the forces of law and respectability in a desperate struggle, waged partly by cunning and partly by violence, at once sick and ferocious, in which it attacks the prevailing social order with the pin-pricks of vice and the hammer-blows of crime.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
