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

    “I have drunk ale from the Country of the Young
    And weep because I know all things now:
    I have been a hazel-tree, and they hung
    The Pilot Star and the Crooked Plough
    Among my leaves in times out of mind....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “The grief of the keen is no personal complaint for the death of one woman over eighty years, but seems to contain the whole passionate rage that lurks somewhere in every native of the island. In this cry of pain the inner consciousness of the people seems to lay itself bare for an instant, and to reveal the mood of beings who feel their isolation in the face of a universe that wars on them with winds and seas.”
    —J.M. (John Millington)

    “Every man is a creative cause of what happens, a primum mobile with an original movement.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “I passed a tomb among green shades
    Where seven anemones with down-dropped heads
    Wept tears of dew upon the stone beneath.”
    —Unknown. The Thousand and One Nights.
