Famous quotes containing the words time and/or stars:
“Time kills me terribly.
Time shall not murder you, He said,
Nor the green nought be hurt;
Who could hack out your unsucked heart,
O green and unborn and undead?
I saw time murder me.”
—Dylan Thomas (19141953)
“Rather than have it the principal thing in my sons mind, I would gladly have him think that the sun went round the earth, and that the stars were so many spangles set in the bright blue firmament.”
—Thomas Arnold (17951842)
