Quotes by Firefly

Women have in their natures something akin to owls and fireflies. While men grow stupid and sleepy towards evening, they become brighter and more open-eyed, and show a propensity to flit and sparkle under the light of chandeliers.

Abba Louisa Goold Woolson
firefly stupid men

I love Prospect Park-watching fireflies at night and going to the bandshell for free music.

Abbey Lee Kershaw
firefly parks night

Precise, graceful, and generous, the poems in SuperLoop, seem to be born out of a deep, careful attention and a profound compassion. Sometimes the quiet observer, sometimes the kid in the center of the messed-up carnival, these poems are the fireflies you’ve missed all winter, the longed-for return of the bees. Unaffected and inherently hopeful, Callihan’s work is as merciful as it is moving.

Ada Limon
firefly kids moving

You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat ya with until you realize who's in ruttin' command here!

Adam Baldwin
firefly beats realizing

There is a place where time stands still ...illuminated by only the most feeble red light, for light is diminished to almost nothing at the center of time, its vibrations slowed to echoes in vast canyons, its intensity reduced to the faint glow of fireflies.

Alan Lightman
firefly echoes light
Brighter than fireflies upon the Uji River are your words in the... by Amy Lowell

Brighter than fireflies upon the Uji River are your words in the dark, Beloved.

Amy Lowell

I suffer for birds and fireflies but not frogs, she said, and threw him across the room. Kaboom! Like a genie out of a samovar, a handsome prince arose in the corner of the bedroom.

Anne Sexton
firefly suffering bird
His sanguine spirit turns every firefly into a star. by Arthur Conan Doyle

His sanguine spirit turns every firefly into a star.

Arthur Conan Doyle
firefly stars spirit

Always say a kind word if you can, if only that it may come in, perhaps, with singular opportuneness, entering some mournful man's darkened room, like a beautiful firefly, whose happy circumvolutions he cannot but watch, forgetting his many troubles.

Arthur Helps
firefly kindness beautiful
Religions are like fireflies. They require darkness in order to s... by Arthur Schopenhauer

Religions are like fireflies. They require darkness in order to shine.

Arthur Schopenhauer
firefly atheist spiritual

So that's what I'm here to become. And suddenly, this word fills me with a brand of sadness I haven't felt since childhood. The kind of sadness you feel at the end of summer. When the fireflies are gone, the ponds have dried up and the plants are wilted, weary from being so green.

Augusten Burroughs
firefly sadness summer

I remember I had this recurring dream that we were playing a night game and instead of eye black we had mashed up the glowing bodies of fireflies and put that under our eyes. So our faces were glowing - a kind of night vision.

Ben Lerner
firefly eye dream
Are there are fireflies on the West Coast? I never saw any when I... by Ben Lerner

Are there are fireflies on the West Coast? I never saw any when I lived in California.

Ben Lerner

Sleepwalking down the hall like a firefly in the fog. by Ben Weaver

Sleepwalking down the hall like a firefly in the fog.

Ben Weaver
chaos fog firefly

That stirring which had fluttered in her on first glimpsing the sea—that stirring landlocked children know so well—moved in her now, with the golden stars over head, and the green fireflies glinting on the wooded shore. She carefully unfolded the stirring that she had so tightly packed away. It billowed out like a sail, and she laughed, despite herself, despite hunger and hard things ahead.

Catherynne M. Valente
firefly stars children

Above us our palace waits, the only one I've ever needed. Its walls are space, its floor is sky, its center everywhere. We rise; the shapes cluster around us in welcome, dissolving and forming again like fireflies in a summer evening.

Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
firefly wall summer

All of a sudden I was Joan [Mad Man] and they're going, "Oh, so she plays a badass in this." And I'm like, "Oh my god, I get to play badasses." Firefly was a little bit of that, but she started out as a mouse and then she turned into a dragon. But I never really had that opportunity. So all of a sudden people were like, "Oh, do you feel like you're being typecast?" I would say, "No, this is just opening the doors." No one thought I could do it and someone finally trusted me to do it.

Christina Hendricks
badass firefly opportunity

It's time to make love, douse the glim; The fireflies twinkle and dim; The stars lean together Like birds of a feather, And the loin lies down with the limb.

Conrad Aiken
firefly stars lying

[last words] What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night.

Crowfoot
sunset firefly native-american

Unbreakable is a little bit Starship Troopers and a little bit Esmay Suiza, with a dash of Firefly for flavor. W. C. Bauers gives us everything we want in our military science fiction, but never allows the hardware and action to overshadow Paen and everyone else caught in the crossfire.

Dayton Ward
firefly military giving
