“The stars know everything,So we try to read their minds.As distant as they are,We choose to whisper in their presence.”

“When we look up at night and view the stars, everything we see is shinning because of distant nuclear fusion.”

“We could never know who we truly were until we heard the whispers of the stars.”

“As we cannot be universal by knowing everything there is to know about everything, we must know a little about everything, because it is much better to know something about everything than everything about something. Such universality is the finest. It would be still better if we could have both together, but, if a choice must be made, this is the one to choose. The world knows this and does so, for the world is often a good judge.”

“Me and Ma have a deal, we're going to try everything one time so we know what we like.”

“Everything passes away - suffering, pain, blood, hunger, pestilence. The sword will pass away too, but the stars will remain when the shadows of our presence and our deeds have vanished from the Earth. There is no man who does not know that. Why, then, will we not turn our eyes toward the stars? Why?”
