Double Stars

Famous quotes containing the words double and/or stars:

“[The] elderly and timid single gentleman in Paris ... never drove down the Champs Elysees without expecting an accident, and commonly witnessing one; or found himself in the neighborhood of an official without calculating the chances of a bomb. So long as the rates of progress held good, these bombs would double in force and number every ten years.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

“There are no stars to-night
But those of memory.
Yet how much room for memory there is
In the loose girdle of soft rain.”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)
