Fuel Rocket Engine

Famous quotes containing the words fuel, rocket and/or engine:

    Beware the/easy griefs, that fool and fuel nothing./It is too easy to cry “AFRIKA!”/and shock thy street,/and purse thy mouth,/and go home to thy “Gunsmoke,” to/thy “Gilligan’s Island” and the NFL.
    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    Along a parabola life like a rocket flies,
    Mainly in darkness, now and then on a rainbow.

    There is a small steam engine in his brain which not only sets the cerebral mass in motion, but keeps the owner in hot water.
