“For me, this nomination was as if all of a sudden the crucifix began to wear a yellow star.”
Jean Marie Cardinal Lustiger
“The sky was clear -- remarkably clear -- and the twinkling of all the stars seemed to be but throbs of one body, timed by a common pulse.”
Thomas Hardy
“Continuous as the stars that shine/ And twinkle on the milky way.”
William Wordsworth
“Stars are good too. I wish I could get some to put in my hair. But I suppose I never can. You would be surprised to find how far off they are, for they do not look it. When they first showed last night I tried to knock some down with a pole, but it didn't reach, which astonished me. Then I tried clods till I was all tired out, but I never got one. I did make some close shots, for I saw the black blot of the clod sail right into thee midst of the golden clusters forty or fifty times, just barely missing them, and if I could've held out a little longer, maybe I could've got one.”
Mark Twain
“When it is darkest, men see the stars.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.”
William Blake
“Love that moves the sun and the other stars.”
Dante Alighieri
“Wish on everything. Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars. Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground. Birthday candles. Baby teeth.”
Francesca Lia Block
“Each violet peeps from its dwelling to gaze at the bright stars above”
Heinrich Heine
“Love came down at Christmas; love all lovely, love divine; love was born at Christmas, stars and angels gave the sign.”
Christina G. Rossetti
