Stars Quotes
From marquee names to the actual night sky.
This stars quotes page covers two very different meanings: the shifting fortunes of movie and TV stars getting displaced in a crowded industry, and genuine scientific wonder that we understand distant galaxies better than our own planet in some ways. One quote notes that stars, once you work with them, turn out to just be people. See Great for more on ambition and recognition.

Buddy Holly had something very different from the other great early rock n' roll stars, whether it was Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Bo Diddley. He came across as so ordinary, as such a nerd. You know, he was a big guy, and he carried a gun. He was anything but a nerd.
