Famous quotes containing the words light and/or years:

    “A lover may bestride the gossamers
    That idles in the wanton summer air,
    And yet not fall; so light is vanity.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “We do not associate the idea of antiquity with the ocean, nor wonder how it looked a thousand years ago, as we do of the land, for it was equally wild and unfathomable always. The Indians have left no traces on its surface, but it is the same to the civilized man and the savage. The aspect of the shore only has changed.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
