Famous quotes containing the words time and/or stars:

    To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
    A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
    Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes (l. III, 1–2)

    And in their blazing solitude
    The stars sang in their sockets through the night:
    “Blow bright, blow bright
    The coal of this unquickened world.”
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
