Famous quotes containing the words bright and/or star:

    At certain times, men regard poetry merely as a bright flame, but to women it was, and always will be, a warm fire.
    Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    Find out the peaceful hermitage,
    The hairy gown and mossy cell,
    Where I may sit and rightly spell
    Of every star that heaven doth show,
    And every herb that sips the dew;
    Till old experience do attain
    To something like prophetic strain.
    These pleasures Melancholy give,
    And I with thee will choose to live.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
