"He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star."

"The stars are the jewels of the night, and perchance surpass anything which day has to show." Henry David Thoreau
“If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and stare.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
Come, my friends,
'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
Tennyson, "Ulysses"
