Famous quotes containing the word stars:

    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)

    The stars are pears
    that no one can reach,
    even for a wedding.
    Perhaps for a death.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
