Starred Quotes (page 32)

Depression is all about if you loved me you would. As in, if you loved me you would stop doing your schoolwork, stop going out drinking with your friends on a Saturday night, stop accepting starring roles in theater productions, and stop doing everything besides sitting here by my side and passing me Kleenex and aspirin while I lie and creak and cry and drown myself and you in my misery. Elizabeth Wurtzel
Lying under such a myriad of stars. The sea’s black horizon. He rose and walked out and stood barefoot in the sand and watched the pale surf appear all down the shore and roll and crash and darken again. When he went back to the fire he knelt and smoothed her hair as she slept and he said if he were God he would have made the world just so and no different. Cormac McCarthy
Ray Bradbury quote: "I was only kicking down the Christmas tree to get the star on..."
I was only kicking down the Christmas tree to get the star on top. Ray Bradbury
Like star that shines afar, slowly now, and without rest, let each man turn with steady sway, around the task that rules the day, and do his best. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Patrick White quote: "To understand the stars would spoil their appearance."
To understand the stars would spoil their appearance. Patrick White
William Shakespeare quote: "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves."
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves. William Shakespeare
This is. And thou art. There is no safety. There is no end. The word must be heard in silence. There must be darkness to see the stars. The dance is always danced above the hollow place, above the terrible abyss. Ursula K. Le Guin
It is possible that our race may be an accident, in a meaningless universe, living its brief life uncared-for, on this dark, cooling star: but even so -- and all the more -- what marvelous creatures we are! What fairy story, what tale from the Arabian Nights of the jinns, is a hundredth part as wonderful as this true fairy story of simians! It is so much more heartening, too, than the tales we invent. A universe capable of giving birth to many such accidents is -- blind or not -- a good world... Clarence Day
...know you not that you are my sun by day, and my star by night? By my faith! I was in deepest darkness till you appeared and illuminated all. Alexander Dumas
Andre Breton quote: "The clouds were disappearing rapidly, leaving the stars to..."
The clouds were disappearing rapidly, leaving the stars to die. The night dried up. Andre Breton
I wish I knew who I am," I whispered to the stars in Baya's eyes. Slowly, Baya shook his head. "Oh, Dust Girl, that's the hardest wish of all. Not even Baya can give you that one. That one you earn. Sarah Zettel
One night I dreamed I was locked in my Father's watch. With Ptolemy and twenty-one ruby stars. Mounted on spheres and the Primum Mobile. Coiled and gleaming to the end of space. And the notched spheres eating each other's rinds. To the last tooth of time, and the case closed. John Ciardi
For I was reared in the great city, pent with cloisters dim, and saw naught lovely but the sky and stars. But thou, my babe! Shalt wander like a breeze. By lakes and sandy shores, beneath the crags. Of ancient mountains, and beneath the clouds, Which image in their bulk both lakes and shores. And mountain crags: so shall thou see and hear. The lovely shapes and sounds intelligible Of that eternal language, which thy God. Utters, who from eternity doth teach. Himself in all, and al things in... Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Carl Sagan quote: "We are all star stuff."
We are all star stuff. Carl Sagan
Happy. Just in my swim shorts, barefooted, wild-haired, in the red fire dark, singing, swigging wine, spitting, jumping, running—that's the way to live. All alone and free in the soft sands of the beach by the sigh of the sea out there, with the Ma-Wink fallopian virgin warm stars reflecting on the outer channel fluid belly waters. And if your cans are redhot and you can't hold them in your hands, just use good old railroad gloves, that's all. Jack Kerouac
