Famous quotes containing the words current, top and/or star:
“What in fact have I achieved, however much it may seem? Bits and pieces ... trivialities. But here they wont tolerate anything else, or anything more.

We are societys tools, neither more nor less.”
—Henrik Ibsen (18281906)

“Never tell me that not one star of all
That slip from heaven at night and softly fall
Has been picked up with stones to build a wall.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
