Quotations for carbuncle

Genius is to other gifts what the carbuncle is to the precious stones. It sends forth its own light, whereas other stones only reflect borrowed light. [ Arthur Schopenhauer ]

A table without music is little better than a manger; for music at meals is like a carbuncle set in gold, or the signet of an emerald highly burnished. [ Epictetus ]

Truth may perhaps come to the price of a pearl, that showeth best by day, but it will not rise to the price of a diamond or carbuncle, that showeth best in varied lights. [ Bacon ]
