Famous quotes containing the words high and/or admiral:

    “It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy’s edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create “one world.” Instead of one world, we have “star wars,” and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet’s dead.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

    “In this country it is a good thing to kill an admiral from time to time to encourage the others.”
    —Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
