Famous quotes containing the words point and/or light:
“How oft when men are at the point of death
Have they been merry! which their keepers call
A lightning before death: O, how may I
Call this a lightning? O my love! my wife!
Death, that hath sucked the honey of thy breath,
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty:
Thou art not conquered; beauty’s ensign yet
Is crimson in thy lips and in thy cheeks,
And death’s pale flag is not advanced there.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I have my choice: who can wish for more? Free will enables us to do everything well while imposition makes a light burden heavy.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
