Stars Represent

Famous quotes containing the words stars and/or represent:

    There are no stars to-night
    But those of memory.
    Yet how much room for memory there is
    In the loose girdle of soft rain.
    Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    What have Massachusetts and the North sent a few sane representatives to Congress for, of late years?... All their speeches put together and boiled down ... do not match for manly directness and force, and for simple truth, the few casual remarks of crazy John Brown on the floor of the Harper’s Ferry engine-house,—that man whom you are about to hang, to send to the other world, though not to represent you there.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
