Famous quotes containing the words powers, include and/or flight:
“If powers divine
Behold our human actionsas they do
I doubt not then but innocence shall make
False accusation blush.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Men subsequently put whatever is newly learned or experienced to use as a plowshare, perhaps even as a weapon: but women immediately include it among their ornaments.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxys 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 planets dead.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
