Lit

Famous quotes containing the word lit:

    “Fine vapors escape from whatever is doing the living.
    The night is cold and delicate and full of angels
    Pounding down the living. The factories are all lit up,
    The chime goes unheard.
    We are together at last, though far apart.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Have you not heard of that madman who lit a lantern in the bright morning hours, ran to the market place, and cried incessantly: “I seek God! I seek God!””
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “We have lit upon the gentle, sensitive mind
    And lost the old nonchalance of the hand;
    We are but critics, or but half create,
    Timid, entangled, empty and abashed,
    Lacking the countenance of our friends.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
