Stars Kill

Famous quotes containing the words stars and/or kill:

    And now the sparrows warring in the eaves,
    The curd-pale moon, the white stars in the sky,
    And the loud chaunting of the unquiet leaves,
    Are shaken with earth’s old and weary cry.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    And I envy the intransigence of my own
    Countrymen who shoot to kill and never
    See the victim’s face become their own
    Or find his motive sabotage their motives.
    Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
