Famous quotes containing the words deep and/or space:

    “And so you have found out that secret—one of the deep secrets of Life—that all, that is really worth the doing, is what we do for others?”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “When my body leaves me
    I’m lonesome for it.
    but body
    goes away to I don’t know where
    and it’s lonesome to drift
    above the space it
    fills when it’s here.”
    —Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
