Famous quotes containing the words order, red and/or star:

    The order of the world is always right—such is the judgment of God. For God has departed, but he has left his judgment behind, the way the Cheshire Cat left his grin.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    Red river, red river,
    Slow flow heat is silence
    No will is still as a river
    Still.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

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