That luminous part of you that exists beyond personality - your soul, if you will - is as bright and shining as any that has ever been.

Some fly boxes that you wear on the chest are also bright aluminum-not a good idea. I recently fished with a fellow who wore a bright yellow hat on a meadow stream in Pennsylvania. From 100 yards away you could see his every movement,-I'm sure that trout near him could, too.

But instead of being dark, they have their own terrible brilliance. . . and none shine so bright as the acts of cruelty we sometimes perpetrate in our own families.
Stephen KingDon't cry, you crybaby! When you think things are hard, that's the time you are maturing as a person. If you get over the darkness, a wonderful new day will come.

Alex SteffenShe liked anything orange: leaves; some moons; marigolds; chrysanthemums; cheese; pumpkin, both in pie and out; orange juice; marmalade. Orange is bright and demanding.

Her mother said butterscotch would make a bird sick and, besides, the dog would certainly eat it up. September never spoke to the dog again โ on principle.

Peggy NoonanSo we'll go no more a-roving So late into the night, Though the heart still be as loving, And the moon still be as bright. For the sword outwears its sheath, And the soul outwears the breast, And the heart must pause to breathe, And love itself have rest. Though the night was made for loving, And the day returns too soon, Yet we'll go no more a-roving By the light of the moon.
Lord ByronOh, that," said the king with a shrug. "That isn't your honor, Costis. That's the public perception of your honor.

I longed even more to wear a sari which the women wore so elegantly and which flattered their curves.
