Silver Stars

Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or stars:

    The people of coming days will know
    About the casting out of my net,
    And how you have leaped times out of mind
    Over the little silver cords,
    And think that you were hard and unkind....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Throw the children into the river; civilization has given us too
    many.
    It is better to die than to grow up and find that you are colored.
    Pluck the stars out of the heavens. The stars mark our destiny. The
    stars marked my destiny.
    I am tired of civilization.
    Fenton Johnson (1886–1958)
