Dust Light Star

Famous quotes containing the words dust, light and/or star:

“Our own country furnishes antiquities as ancient and durable, and as useful, as any; rocks at least as well covered with lichens, and a soil which, if it is virgin, is but virgin mould, the very dust of nature. What if we cannot read Rome or Greece, Etruria or Carthage, or Egypt or Babylon, on these; are our cliffs bare?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Once a happy old man
One can never change the core of things, and light burns you the harder for it.”
