Lightning Bugs Quotes

“I am but a firefly caught in his jar and when he looks at me, I can’t help but glow.”
― Kellie Elmore

“When I was a little girl, I used to try and bring sunshine to my mother. I felt so bad that she had never really seen or felt it. So I would try and catch it in jars. When that failed, I captured jars and jars of lightening bugs and told her that if we could catch enough of them, then it would look like the sun. She’d laugh, hug me, and then set them free and tell me that nothing should have to live its life in a cage. (Cassandra)”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Kiss of the Night

“There are fireflies winking around his head, landing in his hair. A crown. His dive is infuriatingly graceful.”
― Casey McQuiston, Red, White & Royal Blue
