Had God,then,peopled the whole universe with our kind?Did he perhaps in very truth make us in his image?It was incredible.To ask such questions proved that I had lost mental balance. ~ Olaf Stapledon
Star Maker quotes by Olaf Stapledon
No visiting angel, or explorer from another planet could have guessed that this bland orb teemed with vermin, with world-mastering, self-torturing, incipiently angelic beasts. ~ Olaf Stapledon
Star Maker quotes by Olaf Stapledon
If our bodies were different, though, our metaphors would be different, as Olaf Stapledon showed in Star Maker. Crabs walk sideways, for instance. If crabs could talk, they would undoubtedly describe progress in difficult negotiations as sidling toward agreement and express the hope for a better future by saying their best days are still beside them.

Our bodies prime our metaphors, and our metaphors prime how we think and act. ~ James Geary
Star Maker quotes by James Geary
In that instant when I had seen ... the Star Maker, I had glimpsed, in the very eye of that splendor, strange vistas of being; as though in the depths of the hypercosmical past and the hypercosmical future also, yet coexistent in eternity, lay cosmos beyond cosmos ... ~ Olaf Stapledon
Star Maker quotes by Olaf Stapledon
The Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookie was an unexpected, unplanned pop culture phenomena. My father went from star-maker to star. ~ Shawn Amos
Star Maker quotes by Shawn Amos
It was strange to us that none of these three victims made any attempt to resist the attack. Indeed, not one inhabitant in any of these worlds considered for a moment the possibility of resistance. In every case the attitude to disaster seemed to express itself in such terms as these:
To retaliate would be to wound our communal spirit beyond cure. We choose rather to die. The theme of spirit that we have created must inevitably be broken short, whether by the ruthlessness of the invader or by our own resort to arms. It is better to be destroyed than to triumph in slaying the spirit. Such as it is, the spirit that we have achieved is fair; and it is indestructibly woven into the tissue of the cosmos. We die praising the universe in which at least such an achievement as ours can be. We die knowing that the promise of further glory outlives us in other galaxies. We die praising the Star Maker, the Star Destroyer. ~ Olaf Stapledon
Star Maker quotes by Olaf Stapledon
The question that naturally occurs is "What would it be like if a star exploded nearby?" Our nearest stellar neighbor, as we have seen, is Alpha Centauri, 4.3 light-years away. I had imagined that if there were an explosion there we would have 4.3 years to watch the light of this magnificent event spreading across the sky, as if tipped from a giant can. What would it be like if we had four years and four months to watch an inescapable doom advancing toward us, knowing that when it finally arrived it would blow the skin right off our bones? Would people still go to work? Would farmers plant crops? Would anyone deliver them to the stores? ~ Bill Bryson
Star Maker quotes by Bill Bryson
Does it follow that I reject all authority? Perish the thought. In the matter of boots, I defer to the authority of the boot-maker. ~ Mikhail Bakunin
Star Maker quotes by Mikhail Bakunin
Don't let anyone fool you. The stars are always shining. And you don't just see them in the dark. The sun is a star, and it provides light for all of us. ~ Halle Teart
Star Maker quotes by Halle Teart
There may be a brighter star. But through my eyes the light of you is all I see. ~ Stevie Wonder
Star Maker quotes by Stevie Wonder
Ben Says: Be great in your life & become as bright as the stars in the sky. But be patient because every star will has it's time too shine.
Timothy Pina
Bullying Ben ~ Timothy Pina
Star Maker quotes by Timothy Pina
Despite his new eyes, man was still rooted in matter, his soul spun into it and subordinated to its blind laws. And yet he could see matter as a stranger, compare himself to all phenomena, see through and locate his vital processes. He comes to nature as an unbidden guest, in vain extending his arms to beg conciliation with his maker: Nature answers no more, it preformed a miracle with man, but later did not know him ~ Peter Wessel Zapffe
Star Maker quotes by Peter Wessel Zapffe
It starts with the writer-it's a familiar dictum, but somehow it keeps getting forgotten along the way. No film-maker, irrespective of his electronic bag of tricks, can ever afford to forget his commitment to the written word. ~ Steven Spielberg
Star Maker quotes by Steven Spielberg
There is an old Yiddish phrase I find apropos - but not by choice: "Man plans, God laughs." I am a prime example. My life was pretty much laid out for me. I was a basketball star my entire childhood, destined to be an NBA player for the Boston Celtics. But in my very first preseason game, Big Burt Wesson slammed into me and ruined my knee. I tried gamely to come back, but there is a big difference between gamely and effectively. My career was over before I hit the parquet floor. I ~ Harlan Coben
Star Maker quotes by Harlan Coben
There are often lists of the great living male movie stars. How often do you see the name of Nicolas Cage? He should always be up there. He's daring and fearless in his choice of roles, and unafraid to crawl out on a limb, saw it off and remain suspended in air. ~ Roger Ebert
Star Maker quotes by Roger Ebert
I'm a huge karaoke fan. Oh my God. I'm one of those girls who don't give the mic away. It's a problem. I'm a closeted pop star. ~ Jenna Dewan
Star Maker quotes by Jenna Dewan
It cannot be said often enough that science fiction as a genre is incredibly educational - and I'm speaking the written science fiction, not 'Star Trek.' Science fiction writers tend to fill their books if they're clever with little bits of interesting stuff and real stuff. ~ Terry Pratchett
Star Maker quotes by Terry Pratchett
Now that is the real thing, the straight goods from the mass unconscious, friend; that little girl is a witch. There's just no place for her to function in this society. She'd have seen the devil, if she hadn't been brought up on The Bionic Man and all those Star Trek reruns. ~ William Gibson
Star Maker quotes by William Gibson
There's just something about him that gets me. He's a mass of contradictions. He's a terrible grouch, but then he's funny and endearing. He dresses like a rock star and acts like a recluse. He ignores me for days on end and then every now and then he is so, so incredible that he knocks the breath out of me. ~ Kat French
Star Maker quotes by Kat French
The skin of moss / holds the footprints of / star-footed birds. ~ Nancy Willard
Star Maker quotes by Nancy Willard
If we want our lives to align with God's will, we will need to ask a better question than "What should I do?" . . . God is always more concerned with the decision-maker than he is with the decision itself. ~ Jen Wilkin
Star Maker quotes by Jen Wilkin
Compared to Hell, this jail cell is like a five-star hotel. ~ M.F. Hopkins
Star Maker quotes by M.F. Hopkins
I'm a documentary image maker, still and moving, because keeping the real world on the agenda is really important at a time when we're increasingly disconnected from parts of the world on whom we depend. ~ Tim Hetherington
Star Maker quotes by Tim Hetherington
The substance of mind is the substance of heaven. A joyful thought is an auspicious star or a felicitous cloud. An angry thought is a thunderstorm or a violent rain. A kind thought is a gentle breeze or a sweet dew. A stern thought is a fierce sun or an autumn frost. Which of these can be eliminated? Just let them pass away as they arise, open and unresisting, and your mind merges with the spacious sky. ~ Zicheng Hong
Star Maker quotes by Zicheng Hong
I wanted to be a movie star. But movie stars are not what they used to be. ~ Lindsay Lohan
Star Maker quotes by Lindsay Lohan
Burnout comes easy in the high-pressure world of television, and when the opportunity arose to move to Las Vegas and bring my friends and star chefs to open their restaurants at the Venetian, I made the move here. ~ Robin Leach
Star Maker quotes by Robin Leach
It's definitely true that there are a lot of the devices we used on 'Star Trek,' that came out the imagination of the writers, and the creators that are actually in the world today. ~ LeVar Burton
Star Maker quotes by LeVar Burton
It's rumored that doing well in real estate is to be able to close a deal. I did not find that to be the case for myself, I was probably the worst closer out there and I didn't find that was true of my top super stars either. ~ Barbara Corcoran
Star Maker quotes by Barbara Corcoran
This cape had become Stella. Bold, Bright, Daring, Red! It was a girl in a story-book. Stella was a star on the red carpet, in Hollywood. What a bright smile she had! That photograph! That trophy! And that red hair that flowed like a mane in the wind! ~ Suzy Davies
Star Maker quotes by Suzy  Davies
So little do we see before us in the world and so much reason have we to depend cheerfully upon the great Maker of the world, that He does not leave His creatures so absolutely destitute but that in the worst circumstances they have always something to be thankful for, and sometimes are nearer their deliverance than they imagine; nay, are even brought to their deliverance by the means by which they seem to be brought to destruction. ~ Daniel Defoe
Star Maker quotes by Daniel Defoe
Life is a narrow vale between the cold and barren peaks of two eternities. We strive in vain to look beyond the heights. We cry aloud-and the only answer is the echo of our wailing cry. From the voiceless lips of the unreplying dead there comes no word. But in the night of Death Hope sees a star and listening Love can hear the rustling of a wing. ~ Robert Green Ingersoll
Star Maker quotes by Robert Green Ingersoll
I was the leading star in 1945. I slowed down my pace of acting assignments after I came into direction. ~ Dev Anand
Star Maker quotes by Dev Anand
I have a little piece of advice for all the single guys out there, this is a piece of gold so please write this down. If you have the opportunity to star in a movie, do it. Seriously, I find it's a lot easier to meet girls. ~ Vince Vaughn
Star Maker quotes by Vince Vaughn
To boldly go where no man has gone before" says the iconic Captain's Oath in the Star Trek series. Humanity seeks to live adventures, either by conquering mountains or the seas, or by watching war movies, space adventures, fantasies and thrillers. But often the greatest adventure of them all is to negotiate through a lifetime. ~ Ritu Lalit
Star Maker quotes by Ritu Lalit
I think every player should think that he's a difference maker. ~ Brett Favre
Star Maker quotes by Brett Favre
The future is bright like the morning sun. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Star Maker quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
PICARD: Did you read that book I gave you? (Wesley reacts, barely concealing a grimace as he recalls.)
WESLEY: Some of it.
PICARD: That's reassuring.
WESLEY: I just don't have much time.
PICARD: (re the book in his hand) There is no greater challenge than the study of philosophy. (Wesley glances over at Picard's book)
WESLEY: William James sure won't be on my Starfleet exams.
PICARD: The important things never will be. Anyone can be trained to deal with technology, and the mechanics of piloting a starship.
WESLEY: But Starfleet Academy--
PICARD: It takes more than just that. Open your mind to the past... to history, art, philosophy. And then... (re: the stars) ...this will mean something.
(Wesley considers this, almost embarrassed as he realizes Picard does truly care about him.)
Then: PICARD (continuing) Just consider James' wisdom: "Philosophy... is not a technical matter... it is our sense of what life honestly means... our individual way of feeling the total push and pressure of the cosmos."
(then) That's what I want for you.
