Five Chariots - Stars

Famous quotes containing the word stars:

“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)

“Let the stars of its dawn be dark; let it hope for light, but have none; may it not see the eyelids of the morning—”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 3:9.

“To understand
The signs that stars compose, we need depend
Only on stars that are entirely there
And the apparent space between them. There
Never need be lines between them, puzzling
Our sense of what is what.”
—John Hollander (b. 1929)
