Today, especially today, I found myself thinking about two of my favourite quotes about stars:
“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” Oscar Wilde
“Looking up at the stars, I know quite well/ That, for all they care, I can go to hell..." W.H. Auden
If you find yourself in the position of the first, you would do well to remember the second. When you are at your lowest, by all means, do not forget that there is still beauty in the world.
Just don't lie there and look at it.
Life is what you make of it. No matter what you do, life will go on. The Earth will continue to turn on its axis and hurtle through space in its orbit. Time will not stop.
So, look up at the stars. Appreciate their beauty. Think grand thoughts, basking in their symbolism.
But never, ever forget that the stars don't care.
