Famous quotes containing the words stars and/or kill:
“The great ship, Balayne, lay frozen in the sea.
The one-foot stars were couriers of its death
To the wild limits of its habitation.
These were not tepid stars of torpid places
But bravest at midnight and in lonely spaces,
They looked back at Hans’ look with savage faces.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“I said to myself, “The only thing they can do is kill my body. They are not going to get my mind, and my soul will live on in my children and in other people.””
—Shahieda Issel (b. 1957)
