Marvelous

Famous quotes containing the word marvelous:

“Nobody has any conscience about adding to the improbabilities of a marvelous tale.”
—Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804–1864)

“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)

“Young people have a marvelous faculty of either dying or adapting themselves to circumstances.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
