Famous quotes containing the words star and/or break:
“A brush had left a crooked stroke
Of what was either cloud or smoke
From north to south across the blue;
A piercing little star was through.”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
“I am willing, for a money consideration, to test this physical strength, this nervous force, and muscular power with which Ive been gifted, to show that they will bear a certain strain. If I break down, if my brain gives way under want of sleep, my heart ceases to respond to the calls made on my circulatory system, or the surcharged veins of my extremities burstif, in short, I fall helpless, or it may be, dead on the track, then I lose my money.”
—Ada Anderson (1860?)
