Twelve Stars

Famous quotes containing the words twelve and/or stars:

“A whole village-full of sensuous emotion, scattered abroad all the year long, surged here in a focus for an hour.

For the time Paganism was revived in their hearts, the pride of life was all in all, and they adored none other than themselves.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

“So that’s our new flag. The thing we’ve been fighting for—thirteen stripes for the colonies and thirteen stars in a circle for the union.”
