Famous quotes containing the words star, world and/or airs:
“What is this flesh I purchased with my pains,
This fallen star my milk sustains,
This love that makes my heart’s blood stop
Or strikes a sudden chill into my bones
And bids my hair stand up?”

“Even in the scorched and frozen world of the dead after the
holocaust
The wheel as it turns goes on accreting ornaments.”

To impress men. You’ve got us so ashamed
Of being men we can’t look at a good fight
Between two boys and not feel bound to stop it.”
