Comets Discovered

Famous quotes containing the words comets and/or discovered:

“I know
No answer to the children’s cry
Of echo’s answer and the man of frost
And ghostly comets over the raised fists.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

“He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it—namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain. If he had been a great and wise philosopher, like the writer of this book, he would now have comprehended that Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do and that Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
