Quote by Christopher Paolini

“Someone from a different planet probably wouldn't even put the same stars in constellations with each other. "Don't they belong together?" "Not really.

“It was not far. Once away from the subdued lights of the buildings they were aware of the stars, snapping like sparks from a cold fire, in a clear black sky just engendering a few tattered snow-clouds in the east.

The herb garden was walled, and the wooden hut where Cadfael brewed and stored his medicines was sheltered from the worst of the cold.”

These scientists think the galaxy might be full of them. All we ever see are the stars, but the night sky is a crowded graveyard.”
