Electric Light Quotes

I thought about ancient times when we didn’t have electric light. People were slaves to the ebb and the flow of the light cycle. Good Morning and Good Night represents one light cycle Picture Quote #1

Technology is such a broad kind of term, it really applies to so many things, from the electric light to running cars on oil. All of these different things can be called technology. I have kind of a love-hate relationship with it, as I expect most people do. With the computer, I spend so many hours sitting in front of a computer Picture Quote #1

We talked death with burned-up intensity, both of us drawn to it like moths to an electric light bulb. Sucking on it! Picture Quote #1

Wit and Humor - if any difference, it is in duration - lightning and electric light. Same material, apparently; but one is vivid, and can do damage - the other fools along and enjoys elaboration Picture Quote #1

Every time you turn on an electric light, you are making another brainless baby Picture Quote #1

I compare the Twist to the electric light, The Twist is me, and I’m it. I’m the electric light Picture Quote #1

The more I see of democracy the more I dislike it. It just brings everything down to the mere vulgar level of wages and prices, electric light and water closets, and nothing else Picture Quote #1

In a society where every man works for himself, individual incentive, working for one’s self. If people worked for one’s self, there wouldn’t be the electric light, there wouldn’t be engines and powered vehicles, there wouldn’t be electrification and reservoirs and water purification. These are processes that help all people. And processes that help single people is a very primitive value system carried into this century, which is really not necessary Picture Quote #1

Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman Picture Quote #1

Picturesqueness is a lost art. We may expect at anytime to hear that a collar ad is blazing its electric lights atop of the largest pyramid Picture Quote #1

Can you go a whole day with joy in your heart? Joy and vitality are an inseparable combination. Joy is not concerned with having fun; it is an inner spiritual quality that overcomes despair, pain and defeat. You cannot turn on joy like an electric light, but you can prepare yourself to receive it Picture Quote #1

I would call back at least for literature this world of shadows we are losing. In the mansion called literature I would have the eaves deep and the walls dark, I would push back into the shadows the things that come forward too clearly, I would strip away the useless decoration. I do not ask that this be done everywhere, but perhaps we may be allowed at least one mansion where we can turn off the electric lights and see what it is like without them Picture Quote #1

Electric light is just another instrument. I have no desire to contrive fantasies mediumistically or sociologically over it or beyond it Picture Quote #1

During the four days of the storm, I became accustomed to the soft light of lamps and candles and grew to like it. When the power came on again, I discovered that I was actually disappointed. The electric lights seemed cold and impersonal; they revealed too much Picture Quote #1

Science appears to us with a very different aspect after we have found out that it is not in lecture rooms only, and by means of the electric light projected on a screen, that we may witness physical phenomena, but that we may find illustrations of the highest doctrines of science in games and gymnastics, in travelling by land and by water, in storms of the air and of the sea, and wherever there is matter in motion Picture Quote #1

Life in the country teaches one that the really stimulating things are the quiet, natural things, and the really wearisome things are the noisy, unnatural things. It is more exciting to stand still than to dance. Silence is more eloquent than speech. Water is more stimulating than wine. Fresh air is more intoxicating than cigarette smoke. Sunlight is more subtle than electric light. The scent of grass is more luxurious than the most expensive perfume. The slow, simple observations of the peasant are more wise than the most sparkling epigrams of the latest wit Picture Quote #1

I seldom read on beaches or in gardens. You can’t read by two lights at once, the light of day and the light of the book. You should read by electric light, the room in shadow, and only the page lit up Picture Quote #1

If Thomas Edison invented electric light today, dan Rather would report it on CBS News as candle making industry threatened Picture Quote #1

Edison failed 10,000 times before he made the electric light. Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times Picture Quote #1

We talked death with burned - up intensity, both of us drawn to it like moths to an electric light bulb. Sucking on it! Picture Quote #1
