Bright Angel

Famous quotes containing the words bright and/or angel:

    School-days, I believe, are the unhappiest in the whole span of human existence. They are full of dull, unintelligible tasks, new and unpleasant ordinances, brutal violations of common sense and common decency. It doesn’t take a reasonably bright boy long to discover that most of what is rammed into him is nonsense, and that no one really cares very much whether he learns it or not.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    The garden flew round with the angel,
    The angel flew round with the clouds,
    And the clouds flew round and the clouds few round
    And the clouds flew round with the clouds.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
