Famous quotes containing the words search and/or light:
“We spent them not in toys, in lusts, or wine,
But search of deep Philosophy,
Wit, Eloquence, and Poetry,
Arts which I loved, for they, my Friend, were thine.”
—Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
“Such is the role of poetry. It unveils, in the strict sense of the word. It lays bare, under a light which shakes off torpor, the surprising things which surround us and which our senses record mechanically.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
