Starred Quotes (page 83)

Anais Nin quote: "You don't find love, it finds you. It's got a little bit to do..."
You don't find love, it finds you. It's got a little bit to do with destiny, fate, and what's written in the stars. Anais Nin
Things are as they are. Looking out into the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations. Alan Watts
Christina G. Rossetti quote: "Love came down at Christmas, Love all lovely, Love Divine;..."
Love came down at Christmas, Love all lovely, Love Divine; Love was born at Christmas; Star and angels gave the sign. Christina G. Rossetti
She says nothing at all, but simply stares upward into the dark sky and watches, with sad eyes, the slow dance of the infinite stars. Neil Gaiman
Walter Benjamin quote: "Ideas are to objects as constellations are to stars..."
Ideas are to objects as constellations are to stars [translated from Trauerspiel, 1928]. Walter Benjamin
In this sense love is of a different order to any other phenomenon, for it may be both an event and a sign of that invisible mechanism I spoke of before; perhaps the finest sign, the most certain. In it’s throes we need neither luck nor science. We are the wheel, and the man who profits by it. We are the star, and the darkness it pierces. We are the butterfly, brief and beautiful. Clive Barker
Kings built tombs more splendid than the houses of the living and counted the names of their descent dearer than the names of their sons. Childless lords sat in aged halls musing on heraldry or in high cold towers asking questions of the stars. And so the kingdom of Gondor sank into ruin, the line of kings failed, the white tree withered and the rule of Gondor was given over to lesser men. J. R. R. Tolkien
Jack Kerouac quote: "The human bones are but vain lines dawdling, the whole..."
The human bones are but vain lines dawdling, the whole universe a blank mold of stars. Jack Kerouac
Marilyn Monroe quote: "The only thing a star asks is to be allowed to twinkle."
The only thing a star asks is to be allowed to twinkle. Marilyn Monroe
When I opened my eyes I saw nothing but the pool of nocturnal sky, for I was lying on my back with out-stretched arms, face to face with that hatchery of stars. Only half awake, still unaware that those depths were sky, having no roof between those depths and me, no branches to screen them, no root to cling to, I was seized with vertigo and felt myself as if flung forth and plunging downward like a diver. Antoine de Saint-Exupery
He was mastered by the sheer surging of life, the tidal wave of being, the perfect joy of each separate muscle, joint, and sinew in that it was everything that was not death, that it was aglow and rampant, expressing itself in movement, flying exultantly under the stars. Jack London
Man is a fallen star till he is right with heaven: he is out of order with himself and all around him till he occupies his true place in relation to God. When he serves God, he has reached that point where he doth serve himself best, and enjoys himself most. It is man's honour, it is man's joy, it is man's heaven, to live unto God. Charles Spurgeon
I may be permitted, like the doctors, to cure a greater evil by a less, for I shall not fall seriously in love with the young widow, I think, nor she with me - that's certain - but if I find a little pleasure in her society I may surely be allowed to seek it; and if the star of her divinity be bright enough to dim the lustre of Eliza's, so much the better, but I scarcely can think it Anne Bronte
Hope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity. Charles Spurgeon
I went out to the hazel woodbecause a fire was in my headcut and peeled a hazel wandand hooked a berry to a threadand when white moths were on the wingand moth-like stars were flickering out. I dropped the berry in a stream, and caught a little silver trout....(Song of Wandering Aengus) William Butler Yeats
