The brightest stars emerge out of the blackest darkness

Shri Radhe Maa

Can a nation remain healthy, can all nations draw together in a world whose brightest stars are film stars?

Winston Churchill

We cannot build on peace on blood. We are still so addicted to this lie. We have this fantasy that we honor the dead by adding to their number. What we need to do is remember that these bodies bury us. This ocean of blood that we create through the fantasy that violence brings virtue drowns us, drowns our children, drowns our future, drowns the world. We have to understand that when we pour these endless young bodies into this pit of death, we follow.

Stefan Molyneux

It is moonlight. Alone in the silence I ascend my stairs once more, While waves remote in pale blue starlight Crash on a white sand shore. It is moonlight. The garden is silent. I stand in my room alone. Across my wall, from the far-off moon, A rain of fire is thrown. There are houses hanging above the stars, And stars hung under the sea, And a wind from the long blue vault of time Waves my curtains for me. I wait in the dark once more, swung between space and space: Before the mirror I lift my hands And face my remembered face.

Conrad Aiken

The darkest nights produce the brightest stars.

John Green

Teachers are about the brightest stars in our constellation.

Peter H. Reynolds

It was autumn and falling stars Covered the shrivelled forms Crouched in the moonlight.

Wallace Stevens

I made a wish on a sliver of moonlight A sly grin and a bowl full of stars

Tom Waits

Carvin Jones is one of the brightest young stars on the blues scene today

Albert Collins

Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance With the stars up above in your eyes... And I'm trying to please to the calling Of your heart-strings that they play soft and low And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush... One more Moondance with you in the moonlight On a magic night

Van Morrison

The stars are the jewels of the night, and perchance surpass anything which day has to show. A companion with whom I was sailing one very windy but bright moonlight night, when the stars were few and faint, thought that a man could get along with them,-though he was considerably reduced in his circumstances,-that they were a kind of bread and cheese that never failed.

Henry David Thoreau

Realise well, proud little man that even the highest clouds don't shine! For above all things there lie brightest stars.

Mehmet Murat Ildan

The wastes of snow on the hill were ghostly in the moonlight. The stars were piercingly bright.

Maud Hart Lovelace

Were the stars out when I left the house last evening? All I could remember was the couple in the Skyline listening to Duran Duran. Stars? Who remembers stars? Come to think of it, had I even looked up at the sky recently? Had the stars been wiped out of the sky three months ago, I wouldn’t have known.
