1 To the stars who listen and the dreams that are answered – A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas
Rhys and Feyre toasted to a wish for a better world for the fae under the same stars, as it is a common belief among humans (and possibly the fae) that a wish made upon a star comes true in time. Regardless of whether it does, it is the hope of watching your dreams come to life that makes it so special.
2 Hope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.-Charles Spurgeon
We can only experience the brilliance of stars at night. Similarly, it is adversity that brings out the true worth of a person.
3 Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it, you will land among the stars – Les Brown
Always aim for the highest level of achievement you can strive for. Even if you cannot accomplish it, you will still end up successful in life.
4 My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations – Augustus Waters
Constellations are stars that can be grouped together to form symbolic patterns. Augustus (here) refers to his thoughts as being random stars which cannot be a part of these constellations, which is meant to imply that lacks the structural competency to write a finished poetry/prose piece (which is a lie).
5 Fix your course on a star and you’ll navigate any storm – Leonardo Da Vinci
Often, at the sea, sailors use the position of the stars to navigate their path. The star here can be a goal you might want to achieve in life, so find your star and set your course for it. No storm will be able to hold you back.
6 The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff- Carl Sagon
Stars are ancient bodies meant to be billions of years old, and are composed of the oldest matter in our universe. Much of what we are made of was manufactured in these stars too. So if you have nothing to be proud of today, remember that you are made of stardust.
7 Not just beautiful, though–the stars are like the trees in the forest, alive and breathing. And they’re watching me.-Haruki Murakami (Kafka on the shore)
The omnipresence of the stars is like the liveliness of the trees that form large forests. They’ve been there for years, and they’ve seen anything and everything that encompases their presence.
8 Stars, too, were time travelers. How many of those ancient points of light were the last echoes of suns now dead? How many had been born but their light has not yet come this far?-Ransom Riggs (Miss Peregrine’s home for peculiar children)
The stars that we see from our roofs are light years away, and it takes years for the light they emanate to reach us. Our sun is also a star, and every star has a life cycle to go through before it dies, so there might come a time when our sun would become a white dwarf and it would take years before we would be able to visually see the difference..
9 When it is dark enough, you can see the stars -Ralph Waldo Emerson
The stars are only visible when the night drapes over the sky, which also goes on to show that it is only in the dark and desolate environment of adversity that one can shine their brightest.
10 It is not in the stars to hold our destiny, but ourselves- William Shakespeare
People delude themselves into thinking that whatever they are going through was written in the stars. They assume that their misery or fortune is a result of some predetermined fate- a fixed story that cannot be changed. But we are the ones who make the choices in our lives and decide our destiny.
11 You’re measuring the stars, not giving the sky a high five – Maui (Moana)
Moana was learning to chart out her course through the sea, where no landmarks exist, with Maui’s help. And the only way you can avoid losing your way is by studying the position of the stars, but she kept getting it wrong until Maui sarcastically pointed it out.
12 The stars don’t tell the future. They tell stories.-Shrek
It is we who chart our futures according to the choices we make, and the stars simply bear a witness to every story that unfolds before them. Therefore, instead of putting the onus of our fates onto them, it would be better to call them storytellers who observe everything.
13 Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. – Harriet Tubman
Sometimes, the stars are used to imply impossible feats that are beyond our reach. But humankind did reach the space with it’s perseverance and passion, so nothing is beyond us as long as we are willing to work for it.
14 Even a fool knows you can’t touch the stars, but it doesn’t stop a wise man from trying.-Harry Anderson
Every man whose name has gone down in history in golden syllables was once an ordinary fool who people refused to believe, because his questions were beyond their comprehension. Everyone knows the things that are unachievable today, and they will continue to stay that way until someone tries to go for them.
15 Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven, Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The forget-me-nots shrivel when you touch them, but their leaves go back to normal after some time. Similarly, the stars also appear to twinkle. We gaze upon the sky when we look towards the heavens, and the stars are said to be angels guiding us on our journeys in life.
