Famous quotes containing the words star, wars, original and/or anthology:

    A star was broken
    Into the centuries of the child
    Myselves grieve now, and miracles cannot atone.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Wars and revolutions and battles are due simply and solely to the body and its desires. All wars are undertaken for the acquisition of wealth; and the reason why we have to acquire wealth is the body, because we are slaves in its service.
    Socrates (469–399 B.C.)

    Genius differs from talent not by the amount of original thoughts, but by making the latter fertile and by positioning them properly, in other words, by integrating everything into a whole, whereas talent produces only fragments, no matter how beautiful.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    For him nor deep nor hill there is,
    But all’s one level plain he hunts for flowers.
    —Unknown. The Thousand and One Nights.
