For the second time in a row Sparkling Stars is here to bring some great, heartfelt, and inspirational quotes and poems; some by famous writers and poets, others by simple unknown people, and hope you enjoy each and every one of them.

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in; their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
- Elizabeth Kubler Ross

All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.
- Shakespeare
When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
- Yogi Berra

I Carry Your Heart with Me by E. E. Cummings
I carry your heart with me; I carry it in my heart
I am never without it anywhere I go you go, my dear;
And whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling
I fear no fate for you are my fate, my sweet
I want no world for beautiful you are my world, my true
And it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
And whatever a sun will always sing is you

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
And the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
Higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
And this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart; I carry it in my heart.
