Famous quotes containing the words star wars, star, wars and/or republic:
“It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxys edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create one world. Instead of one world, we have star wars, and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planets dead.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“My advice to those who think they have to take off their clothes to be a star is, once youre boned, whats left to create the illusion? Let em wonder. I never believed in givin them too much of me.”
—Mae West (18921980)
“You fadeas if the last of days
Were fading and all wars were done.”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (18691935)
“Paper is cheap, and authors need not now erase one book before they write another. Instead of cultivating the earth for wheat and potatoes, they cultivate literature, and fill a place in the Republic of Letters. Or they would fain write for fame merely, as others actually raise crops of grain to be distilled into brandy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
