Famous quotes containing the words nuclear, test, series, carried and/or site:

    “Language is as real, as tangible, in our lives as streets, pipelines, telephone switchboards, microwaves, radioactivity, cloning laboratories, nuclear power stations.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

    “To answer a question so as to admit of no reply, is the test of a man.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Galileo, with an operaglass, discovered a more splendid series of celestial phenomena than anyone since.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “It may seem strange that any road through such a wilderness should be passable, even in winter, when the snow is three or four feet deep, but at that season, wherever lumbering operations are actively carried on, teams are continually passing on the single track, and it becomes as smooth almost as a railway.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “It is not menstrual blood per se which disturbs the imagination—unstanchable as that red flood may be—but rather the albumen in the blood, the uterine shreds, placental jellyfish of the female sea. This is the chthonian matrix from which we rose. We have an evolutionary revulsion from slime, our site of biologic origins. Every month, it is woman’s fate to face the abyss of time and being, the abyss which is herself.”
    —Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
