Mission Impossible

Famous quotes containing the words mission and/or impossible:

“We can come up with a working definition of life, which is what we did for the Viking mission to Mars. We said we could think in terms of a large molecule made up of carbon compounds that can replicate, or make copies of itself, and metabolize food and energy. So that’s the thought: macrocolecule, metabolism, replication.”
—Cyril Ponnamperuma (b. 1923)

“It is impossible for me to envisage a picture as being other than a window, and ... my first concern is then to know what it looks out on.”
