This was our ambition: to be small and clear and free. Alas, the summer's energy wanes quickly, A moment and it is gone. And no longer May we make the necessary arrangements, simple as they are. Our star was brighter perhaps when it had water in it. - John Ashbery We were raised without movies, theater or music. We had only nature, the hills, the trees. When I got on the set of 'Manon,' I wasn't star-struck because I didn't know what a star was. - Emmanuelle Beart 'Design Star' was incredible, and I didn't think it could get any better, and then 'Color Splash' happened. - David Bromstad Being a rock star was out of the question. I can't sing. - Linda Evangelista In winter darkness, the Baghdad Arabian keen blue deepness of the piercing lovely January winter's dusk--it used to tear my heart out, one stabbing soft star was in the middle of the magicalest blue, throbbing like love--I saw Maggie's black hair in this night-- In the ...

He is kind of like Yoda... 'There is only do or do not. There is no try.'" That actually succeeded in making her laugh through her tears. "you're a Star Wars fan?" "Oh yeah. May the Force be with you. - Sherrilyn Kenyon What do you mean you live someplace where there aren't any humans? (Danger) In a realm far away from here. (Alexion) Is that like in star Wars? A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away? Want to tell me where your Tatooine is located? Is it anywhere in this universe? Near Toledo maybe? The one in Ohio or Spain? I'm not picky. Can I MapQuest it? (Danger) - Sherrilyn Kenyon I have friends who wear Star Wars costumes and act like the characters all day. I may not be that deep into it, but there's something great about loving what you love and not caring if it's unpopular. - Kristen Bell Star Wars, the original movie, was all the various old genre of pictures: the swashbucklers, the war movies, all those things were put n...

What they told us about 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' when we first started was that we were guaranteed 26 episodes, so that was the longest job I've ever had. And that was basically it - we didn't know what the premise of the show was going to be and we waited, week by week, to see a script. - Marina Sirtis The truth of the matter is, all of those guys on Star Trek: The Next Generation actually want to be me. These impersonations they do are just some way of trying to feel what it must be like to be me. And I understand that! Because it feels really good to be Patrick Stewart! - Patrick Stewart

Nobody could have imagined the phenomenon that 'Star Trek' became. It's still almost impossible to imagine. - William Shatner And I enjoyed the celebrity and the creativity that was involved in Star Trek. - William Shatner I never watched 'Star Trek.' - William Shatner If you read my books, especially the Star Trek books and the Quest for Tomorrow books, you'll see in them the core theme of the basic humanistic questions that Star Trek asked. - William Shatner In my proudest moments, I think I had a real hand in the creative force of making "Star Trek." But most of the time, I don't think about it. - William Shatner I love the fact that it's not only about Star Trek, but about science fiction in general, and science. - Rene Auberjonois But he knew people and he was head writer for Have Gun Will Travel, and if you took those early Star Treks that we did and put us in a western wardrobe and put us on wagon train going west, we can say the ...

In the afternoon the ship's company assembled aft, on deck, under the awnings; the flute, the asthmatic meodeon, and the consumptive clarinet crippled the Star Spangled Banner, the choir chased it to cover, and George came in with a peculiarly lacerating screech on the final note and slaughtered it. Nobody mourned. We carried out the corpse on three cheers (that joke was not intentional and I do not endorse it). - Mark Twain The last ever dolphin message was misinterpreted as a surprisingly sophisticated attempt to do a double-backwards-somersault through a hoop whilst whistling the 'Star Spangled Banner', but in fact the message was this: So long and thanks for all the fish. - Douglas Adams When Ronald Reagan was elected I was on a bus traveling with a band in France. I wrote a little arrangement of The Star Spangled Banner in a minor key. - Carla Bley One of my earliest memories... I knew three full verses of the Star Spangled Banner when I was seven or eight years ol...

Shooting stars are not stars at all. They're just rocks that eneter the atmosphere and catch fire under friction. What we wish on, when we see one, is just a trail of debris. - Jodi Picoult Shooting stars are not stars at all. They re just rocks that enter the atmosphere and catch fire under friction. What we wish on when we see one is only a trail of debris. - Jodi Picoult Without a good cultural policy, without adequate help, we will always have individualists, shooting stars who are rapidly forgotten or who stop painting for a more profitable occupation. - Ralph Allen And it came to me then. That we were wonderful travelling companions, but in the end no more than lonely lumps of metal on their own separate orbits. From far off they look like beautiful shooting stars, but in reality they're nothing more than prisons, where each of us is locked up alone, going nowhere - Haruki Murakami Wish on everything. Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, firs...

I can recall back in 1998, in August of that year, when we had a horrible disaster along the Mexican border in the town of Del Rio. At the time, FEMA was the shining star of the federal government. It's now perceived as many to be the dullest knife in the drawer. Right or wrong, that's the perception. - Henry Bonilla You look spectacluar, Cam.' She smoothes out his shirt and straightens his tie. 'You look like the shining star you are!' 'Let's hope I don't give birth to complex elements.' She looks at him quizzically. 'Supernova,' he says. 'If I'm a shining star, let's hope I don't blow up. - Neal Shusterman To shine and outshine the shining stars, to take your abilities to the greatest height, to sit on top of the world, you must fortify yourself with persistence, the determination and willingness to stay in the same direction over a long period of time whatever the cost might be. - Ogwo David Emenike And I know that I am...

I have been told by people that I should not be seen clubbing with good-looking women, but I can't see why not. Why be a pop star otherwise? - James Blunt I know I'm a pop star. But sometime I'd like to be a rock star. - James Blunt I must say, I don't feel very qualified to be a pop star. I feel very awkward at times in the role. - Edward De Bono When you think about it, Adolf Hitler was the first pop star. - David Bowie In that sense, I became politicized because the people in the coal mining villages who were involved in the struggle knew why they were there. But they couldn't understand why some pop star from London would want to be there. - Billy Bragg I'm not a pop star. - Emma Bunton It will shock many - I've lived a full life and really enjoyed my time as a pop star. - Belinda Carlisle I hate being called a pop star. I hate that. - Madonna Ciccone The question I love to get asked is: 'What's the hardest part of your job?' And lit...

But I am constant as the Northern Star, Of whose true fixed and resting quality There is no fellow in the firmament. - William Shakespeare I could be well moved, if I were as you; If I could pray to move, prayers would move me: But I am constant as the northern star, Of whose true-fix'd and resting quality There is no fellow in the firmament. - William Shakespeare I just feel, in life, I'm searching for something I can rely on, something that's constant and something that's going to guide me through. And I felt that the Northern Star is a very beautiful image of that. - Melanie Chisholm Just before our love got lost you said "I am as constant as a northern star" And I said, constantly in the darkness, Where's that at? If you want me I'll be in the bar. - Joni Mitchell The northern star changes its position every ten thousand years, but friendships can last for all eternity. RJPeters - R J Peters Operation Northern Star with Canada has made signi...

If her breath were as terrible as her terminations, there were no living near her, she would infect to the north star! - William Shakespeare If you're doing something new you've got to have a vision. You've got to have a perspective. You've got to have some north star you're aiming for, and you just believe somehow you'll get there, which kind of gets to the passion point. - Steve Case Dear God, I was terribly lost When the galaxies crossed And the sun went dark. Dear God, you're the only North Star I would follow this far. - Owl City Dear God your the only north star I'd follow this far! - Owl City I am no more lonely than a single mullein or dandelion in a pasture, or a bean leaf, or sorrel, or a horse-fly, or a bumblebee. I am no more lonely than the Mill Brook, or a weathercock, or the north star, or the south wind, or an April shower, or a January thaw, or the first spider in a new house. - Henry David Thoreau I can see the stars in your eyes ...

...know you not that you are my sun by day, and my star by night? By my faith! I was in deepest darkness till you appeared and illuminated all. - Alexandre Dumas Let's talk. I pinned Red to his chair with my stare. I did deranged quite well, when the occasion required. - Ilona Andrews You're my Star, a stargazer too, and I wish that I were Heaven, with a billion eyes to look at you! - Plato Come away with me, Astrid. (Zarek) Why should I? (Astrid) Because I love you, and even if I'm lying on the sun itself I'll be freezing there without you. I need my star so that I can hear laughter. (Zarek) - Sherrilyn Kenyon I have found my star. She is beauty and grace. Elegance and goodness. My laughter in winter. She is courageous and strong. Bold and tempting. Unlike any other in all the universe, and I cannot touch her. I dare not even try. Astrid or Aphrodite, she is my Circe. Only instead of changing a man into an animal she has made the animal human. I am such a fucking ...

I held my head back and looked upward. The moon was hidden and only a lone star dared to break through the darkness. - Nancy B Brewer Most people do not have the guts to direct their own movie - let alone star in it. - Tom Robbins There can be no argument about the Lone Star State's significant contributions to American history, and we must remember the actions and the sacrifices of those who made Texas independence a reality. - Michael Mccaul Margo | 5 comments "Whoa, Lone Star," he said, laughing as he looked Zane up and down with a critical eye. "You'll have to buy me dinner before you get that far." "I already bought you dinner," Zane pointed out as he righted himself and sat down. "And he's already gotten that far!" Mark added. - Abigail Roux When they were introduced, he made a witticism, hoping to be liked. She laughed extremely hard, hoping to be liked. Then each drove home alone, staring straight ahead, with the very sam...

A little starvation can really do more for the average sick man than can the best of medicines and the best doctors - Mark Twain Aristotle taught that stars are made of a different matter than the four earthly elements a quintessence that also happens to be what the human psyche is made of. Which is why man's spirit corresponds to the stars. Perhaps that's not a very scientific view, but I do like the idea that there's a little starlight in each of us. - Lisa Kleypas I was just a cheap little starlet hardly acting at all in a very mediocre film. - Brigitte Bardot A moment after the fairy's entrance the window was blown open by the breathing of the little stars, and Peter dropped in. - James M Barrie Well when I write my book, and tell the tale Of my adventures all these little stars That shake out of my cloak I must save those To use for asterisks.. - Cyrano De Bergerac Come, gentle night; come, loving, black-browed night; Give me my Romeo; and, when I shall di...

This year I'm a star, but what will I be next year? A black hole? - Woody Allen I don't think I'm a star or a celebrity or any thing like that. - Dave Attell What about Mickey Mouse? Disney tried very hard to make him a star. But Mickey Mouse is more of a symbol than a real character. - Joseph Barbera If I'm a star, then the people made me a star. - Marilyn Monroe He was gobbling mincemeat, meatbone, bread, cheese, and pork pie, all at once: staring distrustfully while he did so at the mist all round us, and often stoppingeven stopping his jawsto listen. Some real or fancied sound, some clink upon the river or breathing of beast upon the marsh, now gave him a start, and he said, suddenly, - Charles Dickens I used to get some ego thing out of saying I wasn't a star, just an actress. Forget it. I'm a star. I wanted it. I worked for it. I got it. - Valerie Harper Haven't you heard of the music of the spheres?" asked the dragon. "It's the mu...

If you've got a huge Hollywood star in your film, they're getting $32 million, and everyone else gets their bus fare. - Robbie Coltraine Maybe we should have known that night in Denver that things that begin with plywood Greek columns and artificial smoke typically don't end well. Maybe the Hollywood stars and the glamour blinded us a little: you thought it was the glare, some of us thought it was a halo. - Artur Davis I really don't consider myself to be a conventional Hollywood star. I've never really been marketed by the big studios to do mass market box office films. - Laura Dern If Hollywood stars speak out, so do all sorts of other people. Now Hollywood stars can get a better hearing. - Roger Ebert The goal wasn't to be a millionaire or to be a Hollywood star. That was not the goal. The goal was something about - the goal was to find the goal, but I knew where it was. - James Earl Jones Why is it that everyone loves to see the rich person get flushed...

[The romantic chivalric tradition] takes, or at any rate has in the past taken, the young man's eye off women as they are, as companions in shipwreck not guiding stars. - J R R Tolkien You are the guiding star of someone's existence - Carroll Bryant How can a world be good in which Money is the moving power, and Self-interest the guiding star? - H Rider Haggard If we lift one weary hand which hangs down, if we bring peace to one struggling soul, if we give as did the Master, we canby showing the waybecome a guiding star for some lost mariner. - Thomas S Monson The point is not to take the world's opinion as a guiding star but to go one's way in life and working unerringly, neither depressed by failure nor seduced by applause. - Gustav Mahler

The Cicada sing an endless song in the long grass, smells run along the earth and falling stars run over the sky, like tears over a cheek. You are the privileged person to whom everything is taken. The Kings of Tarshish shall bring gifts. - Karen Blixen Sunday is a fixed star," he said. "You shall see him a falling star," said Syme, and put on his hat. The decision of his gesture drew the Professor vaguely to his feet. "Have you any idea," he asked, with a sort of benevolent bewilderment, "exactly where you are going?" "Yes," replied Syme shortly, "I am going to prevent this bomb being thrown in Paris." "Have you any conception how?" inquired the other. "No," said Syme with equal decision. - Gilbert K Chesterton Once there was a gypsy queen who wore on her wrist a chain of six lucky charms - a golden crown, a silver horse, a butterfly caught in amber, a cat's eye shell, a bolt of lightning forged from the ...

So many bright stars, bright in life, burn out quickly. - Jesse Jackson So I shall just imagine myself for a fortnight or so at one side of the fireplace of a country cottage, with a sympathetic soul opposite me. And I shall go on talking, in a low voice while the sea sounds in the distance and overhead the great black flood of wind polishes the bright stars. - Ford Madox Ford Needle and thread flesh and bone Spit and sinew, heartbreak is home. Your suture lines, they sparkle like diamonds Bright stars to light my confinement Stitch, - Gayle Forman Billions of hard, bright stars shone with relentless glitter across the tropic night sky. - James Jones Fish like shiny things, stupid people like shiny things, and the late Nebular Romular Ichibar IV liked shiny things. He burned to death when he flew too close to a bright star, which ironically got swallowed up by the least shiny object in the universea black hole. - Jarod Kintz Bright star of Eanna, forgive me the manner of this, bu...

I always knew I'd be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn't know if I'd be successful at it, but I knew I'd be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store. Maybe even play in a band. I never got into this to be a star. - Bryan Adams Becoming an actress takes a lot longer than being a star. I don't want to be a star. I want to be an actress. I want to build a career. - Carol Alt I came to L.A. to work and become a better actress, not to be a star. - Lauren Ambrose I like intelligent women. When you go out, it shouldn't be a staring contest. - Frank Sinatra Every day I realized I would not be a star. - William Shatner I only want to work with actors that really get it and make it work. I didn't want it to be a star-driven thing anymore. - Darren Aronofsky I wanted to be a star, not a gallery mascot. - Jeanmichel Basquiat Since I was seventeen I thought I might be a star. I'd think about all my heroes, Charlie Parker, Jimi Hendrix....
