Famous quotes containing the words platinum and/or stars:
“Flouncing your skirts, you blueness of joy, you flirt of
politeness,
You leap, you intelligence, essence of wheelness with silvery nose,
And your platinum clocks of excitement stir like the hairs of a
fern.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
“For the night
Shows stars and women in a better light.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
