Twelve Stars

Famous quotes containing the words twelve and/or stars:

“I went back to my work, but now without enthusiasm. I had looked through an open door that I was not willing to see shut upon me. I began to reflect upon life rather seriously for a girl of twelve or thirteen. What was I here for? What could I make of myself? Must I submit to be carried along with the current, and do just what everybody else did?”
—Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)

“The stars are pears
that no one can reach,
even for a wedding.
Perhaps for a death.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
