Sciamachy

"There are stars whose radiance is visible on Earth though they have long been extinct. There are people whose brilliance continues to light the world though they are no longer among the living. These lights are particularly bright when the night is dark. They light the way for humankind."

Attributed to Hannah Szenes, Hungarian poet, playwright and paratrooper (1921-1944).
