Famous quotes containing the words top, ten, money, making and/or stars:

    To be positive. To be mistaken at the top of one’s voice.
    Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

    Parents who want a fresh point of view on their furniture are advised to drop down on all fours and accompany the nine or ten month old on his rounds. It is probably many years since you last studied the underside of a dining room chair. The ten month old will study this marvel with as much concentration and reverence as a tourist in the Cathedral of Chartres.
    Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)

    If I were a Brazilian without land or money or the means to feed my children, I would be burning the rain forest too.
    Sting [Gordon Matthew Sumner] (b. 1951)

    her fine blades making the air wince
    but her cargo
    no promise then:
    delivered
    palpable
    ours.
    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    And in their blazing solitude
    The stars sang in their sockets through the night:
    “Blow bright, blow bright
    The coal of this unquickened world.”
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
