Famous quotes containing the word star:

    Between us two it’s not a star at all.
    It’s a new patented electric light,
    Put up on trial by that Jerseyite
    So much is being now expected of....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Find out the peaceful hermitage,
    The hairy gown and mossy cell,
    Where I may sit and rightly spell
    Of every star that heaven doth show,
    And every herb that sips the dew;
    Till old experience do attain
    To something like prophetic strain.
    These pleasures Melancholy give,
    And I with thee will choose to live.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    You’re not a star until they can spell your name in Karachi.
    Humphrey Bogart (1899–1957)
