King's Lynn Stars

King's Lynn Stars are a motorcycle speedway team who compete in the British Elite League. The nickname "Stars" comes from the defunct Norwich Stars team. The team was founded in 1965 and has been running continually since then, except for 1996 when King's Lynn failed to have a team competing in the British League system.

Famous quotes containing the words king, lynn and/or stars:

    Time’s the king of men;
    He’s both their parent and he is their grave,
    And gives them what he will, not what they crave.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    In the quilts I had found good objects—hospitable, warm, with soft edges yet resistant, with boundaries yet suggesting a continuous safe expanse, a field that could be bundled, a bundle that could be unfurled, portable equipment, light, washable, long-lasting, colorful, versatile, functional and ornamental, private and universal, mine and thine.
    Radka Donnell-Vogt, U.S. quiltmaker. As quoted in Lives and Works, by Lynn F. Miller and Sally S. Swenson (1981)

    If the stars that move together as one, disband,
    Flying like insects of fire in a cavern of night,
    Pipperoo, pippera, pipperum . . . The rest is rot.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
