Famous quotes containing the words christmas, night and/or stars:

    The first day of Christmas,
    My true love sent to me
    A partridge in a pear tree.

    By night we lingered on the lawn,
    For underfoot the herb was dry;
    And genial warmth; and o’er the sky
    The silvery haze of summer drawn;

    The sorrow of not being movie stars overwhelms millions.
