Dust Light Star

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

    “Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
    Life is but an empty dream!—
    For the soul is dead that slumbers,
    And things are not what they seem.

    Life is real! Life is earnest!
    And the grave is not its goal;
    Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
    Was not spoken of the soul.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    “So doth, so is Religion; and this blind-
    ness too much light breeds; but unmoved thou
    Of force must one, and forc’d but one allow;
    And the right; ask thy father which is she,
    let him ask his; though truth and falsehood be
    Near twins, yet truth a little elder is;”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)

    “And tell so readily, he knoweth well
    How ev’ry star by proper name to call?”
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm CXLVII (Paraphrased by The Countess of Pembroke)
