Famous quotes containing the words star, wars, original and/or anthology:

    “You know when there’s a star, like in show business, the star has her name in lights on the marquee! Right? And the star gets the money because the people come to see the star, right? Well, I’m the star, and all of you are in the chorus.”
    —Babe Didrikson Zaharias (1911–1956)

    “The soger frae the wars returns,
    The sailor frae the main,
    But I hae parted frae my Love,
    Never to meet again, my dear,
    Never to meet again.”
    —Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    “That Calvinistic sense of Innate Depravity and Original Sin, from whose visitations, in some shape or another, no deeply thinking mind is always and wholly free. For, in certain moods, no man can weigh this world, without throwing in something, somehow like Original Sin, to strike the uneven balance.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “I please
    To plant some more dew-wet anemones
    That they may weep.”
    —Unknown. The Thousand and One Nights.
