“What do stars do? They shine.”
“The stars shine as they always do. Same stars. Same sky. Only I am different.”
“The stars are constantly shining, but often we do not see them until the dark hours.”
“Many surround themselves with luminaries, but in so doing they dull their own sparkle. If you want to shine bright, look to the heavens and see how the brightest star always stands apart from those lesser shining stars.”
“They [the stars] just kept shining, no matter what was going on. I think of the light here like that, like a splinter of a star that's fallen to earth: it just shines, no matter what is happening.”
“There are dead stars that still shine because their light is trapped in time. Where do I stand in this light, which does not strictly exist?”
