“Superstition! that horrid incubus which dwelt in darkness, shunning the light, with all its racks, and poison chalices, and foul sleeping draughts, is passing away without return. Religion cannot pass away. The burning of a little straw may hide the stars of the sky; but the stars are there and will reappear.” MayLittlesLightStarsSleepDarknessSkyReturnPassingPassingsBurningPoisonSuperstitionsFoulPassing AwayStrawsRacksDraughtChaliceIncubusShunning Book:The Carlyle Anthology Source: The Carlyle Anthology
“Every time I go to Europe, I remember that James Dean never saw Europe, but yet I see his face everywhere. There's James Dean, Humphrey Bogart and Marilyn Monroe - windows of the Champs Elysees, discos in the south of Spain, restaurants in Sweden, t-shirts in Moscow. My life was confused and disoriented for years by his passing. My sense of destiny destroyed - the great films he would have directed, the great performances he would have given, the great humanitarian he would have become, and yet, he's the greatest actor and star I have ever known.” YearsRememberFilmFacesActorsGivenStarsKnownDestinySawsEuropeWindowPerformancesSouthHumanitarianPassingPassingsDestroyedShirtsConfusedRestaurantsSpainT ShirtDeanSwedenMoscowDiscoGreat FilmGreat PerformanceBogartGreat Humanitarian Author:Dennis Hopper
“What is patriotism? Is it love of one's birthplace, the place of childhood's recollections and hopes, dreams and aspirations? Is it the place where, in childlike naïveté, we would watch the passing clouds, and wonder why we, too, could not float so swiftly? The place where we would count the milliard glittering stars, terror-stricken lest each one "an eye should be," piercing the very depths of our little souls?” ShouldLittlesSoulDreamEyeStarsWonderWatchesChildhoodDepthCloudsTerrorPassingPassingsAspirationFloatsRecollectionChildlikePiercingsVetsBirthplaceDreams And AspirationsHopes Dreams Book:Living My Life (Two Volumes in One) Source: Living My Life (Two Volumes in One)
“I began to learn about the universe myself and take it seriously. I know the names of the stars. I know how near or far the heavenly bodies are from our own planet. I know our own place in the universe. I can feel the vastness of it inside myself. I began to realize with each passing fact what a wonderful and awesome place the universe is, and that helped me in comics because I was looking for the awesome.” KnowsFeelsI CanFactsBodyUniverseNamesStarsRealizingKnow HowWonderfulPlanetsPassingPassingsHeavenlyVastnessHeavenly Bodies Author:Jack Kirby
“Have you ever, on a cloudless night, looked down from a passing aircraft flying over Canada? Endless, glowing strings of cities, towns, and homesteads.

“He rose and turned toward the lights of town. The tidepools bright as smelterpots among the dark rocks where the phosphorescent seacrabs clambered back. Passing through the salt grass he looked back. The horse had not moved. A ship's light winked in the swells. The colt stood against the horse with its head down and the horse was watching, out there past men's knowing, where the stars are drowning and whales ferry their vast souls through the black and seamless sea.” MenSoulLightPastStarsBlackDarkKnowingSeaRocksHorseTownsDown AndMovedRosePassingPassingsShipsGrassSaltDrowningWhalesPassing ThroughSeamlessFerryColts Author:Cormac McCarthy
