shooting star

«Wish on everything. Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And stars of course, first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars. Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground. Birthday candles. Baby teeth.»
«There is a particular kind of pain, elation, loneliness, and terror involved in this kind of madness. When you're high it's tremendous. The ideas and feelings are fast and frequent like shooting stars...But, somewhere, this changes. The fast ideas are far too faast, and there are far too many; overwhelming confusion replaces clarity. Everything previously moving with the grain is now against-you are irritable, angry, frightened, uncontrollable...It will never end, for madness carves its own reality.»
«Shoot for the moon and if you miss you will still be among the stars.»
«If I shoot at the sun I may hit a star»
«Her eyes the glow-worm lend thee, / The shooting-stars attend thee; / And the elves also,/ Whose little eyes glow, / Like the sparks of fire, befriend thee.»
«If you shoot for the stars and hit the moon, it's OK. But you've got to shoot for something. A lot of people don't even shoot.»
«The rude sea grew civil at her song,And certain stars shot madly from their spheresTo hear the sea-maid's music.»
