Mysterious Bright Lights

Famous quotes containing the words mysterious, bright and/or lights:

    In such a night, when passing clouds give place,
    Or thinly veil the heaven’s mysterious face;
    When in some river, overhung with green,
    The waving moon and trembling leaves are seen;
    Anne Finch, Countess Of Winchilsea (1661–1720)

    She speaks!
    O, speak again, bright angel, for thou art
    As glorious to this night, being o’er my head,
    As is a wingèd messenger of heaven ...
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    What is the disease which manifests itself in an inability to leave a party—any party at all—until it is all over and the lights are being put out?... I suppose that part of this mania for staying is due to a fear that, if I go, something good will happen and I’ll miss it. Somebody might do card tricks, or shoot somebody else.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
