Famous quotes containing the words rogue and/or planets:

    “It is said that a rogue does not look you in the face, neither does an honest man look at you as if he had his reputation to establish.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Why are all these dolls falling out of the sky?
    Was there a father?
    Or have the planets cut holes in their nets
    and let our childhood out,
    or are we the dolls themselves,
    born but never fed?”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
