Starred Quotes (page 75)

Stone walls do not a prison make, Nor iron bars--a cage, so peril, loneliness, an uncertain future, are not oppressive evils, so long as the frame is healthy and the faculties are employed; so long, especially, as Liberty lends us her wings, and Hope guides us by her star. Charlotte Bronte
I met in the street a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat was threadbare - there were holes at his elbows; the water passed through his shoes and the stars through his soul. Victor Hugo
A fellow writer told me that Richard [Hell] once told her that the best thing about being a rock 'n roll star would be the option of constructing his environment so that he would never have to be around anyone he didn't want to know from, which not only sounds like building your own concentration camp but is just exactly what most of the declining rockstars of the Sixties have done to themselves. Lester Bangs
When two mouths, made sacred by love, draw near to each other to create, it is impossible, that above that ineffable kiss there should not be a thrill in the immense mystery of the stars. Victor Hugo
Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. If you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don't throw it away. Stephen Hawking
colleges being nothing but grooming schools for the middle-class non-identity which usually finds its perfect expression on the outskirts of the campus in rows of well-to-do houses with lawns and television sets in each living room with everybody looking at the same thing and thinking the same thing at the same time while the Japhies of the world go prowling in the wilderness to hear the voice crying in the wilderness, to find the ecstacy of the stars, to find the dark mysterious secret of... Jack Kerouac
On a clear day. Rise and look around you. And you'll see who you are. On a clear day. How it will astound you. That the glow of your being. Outshines every star. You'll feel a part of every mountain sea and shore. You can hear. From far and near. A word you've never, never heard before. And on a clear day. On a clear day. You can see forever. And ever. And ever. And ever more Alan Jay Lerner
Dante Alighieri quote: "From there we came outside and saw the stars"
From there we came outside and saw the stars Dante Alighieri
I believe the poor fierce-eyed child had figured out that with a mere fifty dollars in her purse she might somehow reach Broadway or Hollywood - or the foul kitchen of a diner (Help Wanted) in a dismal ex-prairie state, with the wind blowing, and the stars blinking, and the cars, and the bars, and the barmen, and everything soiled, torn, dead. Vladimir Nabokov
Madeleine L'Engle quote: "Part of doing something is listening. We are listening. To the..."
Part of doing something is listening. We are listening. To the sun. To the stars. To the wind. Madeleine L'Engle
How should we like it were stars to burn With a passion for us we could not return? If equal affection cannot be, Let the more loving one be me. W. H. Auden
Jack Kerouac quote: "There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on..."
There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars. Jack Kerouac
Rumi quote: "The universe and the light of the stars come through me."
The universe and the light of the stars come through me. Rumi
Ut haec ipsa qui non sentiat deorum vim habere is nihil omnino sensurus esse videatur."If any man cannot feel the power of God when he looks upon the stars, then I doubt whether he is capable of any feeling at all. Horace
A man sets out to draw the world. As the years go by, he peoples a space with images of provinces, kingdoms, mountains, bays, ships, islands, fishes, rooms, instruments, stars, horses, and individuals. A short time before he dies, he discovers that the patient labyrinth of lines traces the lineaments of his own face. Jorge Luis Borges
