More From Dorothy Canfield Fisher

People have stars, but they aren't the same. for travelers, the stars are guides. for other people, they're nothing but tiny lights. and for still others, for scholars, they're problems... but all those stars are silent stars. you, though, you'll have stars like nobody else... since i'll be laughing on one of them, for you it'll be as if all the stars are laughing. you'll have stars that can laugh!... and it'll be as if i had given you, instead of stars, a lot of tiny bells that know how to laugh.

We look up and we hope the stars look down, we pray that there may be stars for us to follow, stars moving across the heavens and leading us to our destiny, but it's only our vanity. we look at the galaxy and fall in love, but the universe cares less about us than we do about it, and the stars stay in their courses however much we may wish upon them to do otherwise. it's true that if you watch the sky-wheel turn for a while you'll see a meteor fall, flame and die. that's not a star worth following; it's just an unlucky rock. our fates are here on earth. there are no guiding stars.
Falling In Love Stars Moving
If you find yourself loving any pleasure more than your prayers, any book better than the bible, any house better than the house of the lord, any table better than the lord's table, any persons better than christ, or any indulgence better than the hope of heaven – be alarmed.

The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. the tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. it isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream...it is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. not failure, but low aim is sin.
Dream Stars Lying
All men have the stars," he answered, "but they are not the same things for different people. for some, who are travellers, the stars are guides. for others they are no more than little lights in the sky. for others, who are scholars, they are problems. for my businessman they were wealth. but all the stars are silent. you--you alone--will have the stars as no one else has them--

The illusion that mechanical progress means human improvement ... alienates us from our own being and our own reality. it is precisely because we are convinced that our life, as such, is better if we have a better car, a better tv set, better toothpaste, etc., that we condemn and destroy our own reality and the reality of our natural resources. technology was made for man, not man for technology. in losing touch with being and thus with god, we have fallen into a senseless idolatry of production and consumption for their own sakes.

Anyone who claims to be good at lying is obviously bad at lying. thus - as a writer myself - i cannot comment on whether or not writers are exceptionally good liars, because whatever i said would actually mean its complete opposite.

A lot of people are promoting records that are just throw-it-agains t-the-wall-see- if-it-sticks meaningless bullshit. everybody has the responsibility to do the right thing and promote artists that mean something.
