    • Quotes

      Stella: It's all so interesting, but the star I'm looking for is the star that shines, like in the sky.

      Honest Horace Stackpole: [appearing as a blind man] The sky? I've heard some talk about it, but I only know what I can touch. To me, the sky means something out of reach, something unknown.

      Stella: How terrible not to see the stars.
