Famous quotes containing the words human, space and/or flight:
“Priest: Can’t you conceive of a truth too great for the human mind to analyze?
Dr. Henryk Savaard: Tonight, no. But tomorrow, I may know better.”
—Karl Brown (1897–1990)
“The within, all that inner space one never sees, the brain and the heart and other caverns where thought and feeling dance their sabbath.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“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)
