Famous quotes containing the words inconstant and/or star:
“To regard all things and principles of things as inconstant modes or fashions has more and more become the tendency of modern thought.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“Firmness yclept in heroes, kings and seamen,
That is, when they succeed; but greatly blamed
As obstinacy, both in men and women,
Whene’er their triumph pales, or star is tamed —
And ‘twill perplex the casuist in morality
To fix the due bounds of this dangerous quality.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
