“But I am constant as the Northern Star,Of whose true fixed and resting qualityThere is no fellow in the firmament.”

“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 qualityThere is no fellow in the firmament.”

“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.”

“They are trying to make me into a fixed star. I am an irregular planet.”

“Authors can be divided into meteors, planets and fixed stars. The meteors produce a loud momentary effect; we look up, shout 'see there!' and then they are gone for ever. The planets and comets last for a much longer time....The fixed stars alone are constant and unalterable; their position in the firmament is fixed; they have their own light and are at all times active, because they do not alter their appearance through a change in our standpoint, for they have no parallax. Unlike the others, they do not belong to one system (nation) alone, but to the world. But just because they are situated so high, their light usually requires many years before it becomes visible to the inhabitatns of earth.”

“He called out to his fellow monks,'Come quickly I am tasting stars.”
