“....the sun was still marking the passage of the first bright hour in a history that was not destined to be all so bright.”

“All the labor of all the ages, all the devotion, all the inspiration, all the noonday brightness of human genius are destined to extinction. So now, my friends, if that is true, and it is true, what is the point?”

“There are all kinds of stars in God's skies. Some are so bright and twinkly they take your breath away; and others don't shine so brightly but they're still tehre. Thier light's just a little softer, that's all.:”

“History, like love, is so apt to surround her heroes with an atmosphere of imaginary brightness.”

“Real love and Sun have something in common; they are so bright that they don't have shadows, they are free of darkness!”

“Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell.Though all things foul would wear the brows of grace,Yet Grace must still look so.”
