Cold Launch System

Famous quotes containing the words cold, launch and/or system:

    How cold the vacancy
    When the phantoms are gone and the shaken realist
    First sees reality. The mortal no
    Has its emptiness and tragic expirations.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Now launch the small ship, now as the body dies
    and life departs, launch out, the fragile soul
    in the fragile ship of courage, the ark of faith
    with its store of food and little cooking pans
    and change of clothes,
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    A person, seasoned with a just sense of the imperfections of natural reason, will fly to revealed truth with the greatest avidity: while the haughty Dogmatist, persuaded that he can erect a compleat system of Theology by the mere help of philosophy, disdains any further aid, and rejects this adventitious instructor.
    David Hume (1711–1776)
