Probe Lost

Famous quotes containing the words probe and/or lost:

    “Y’know scientists are funny. We probe and measure and dissect. Invent lights without heat, weigh a caterpillar’s eyebrow. But when it comes to really important things we’re as stupid as the caveman.... Like love. Makes the world go ‘round, but what do we know about it? Is it a fact? Is it chemistry? Electricity?”
    —Martin Berkeley, and Jack Arnold. Helen Dobson (Lori Nelson)

    “For little boys are rancorous
    When robbed of any myth,
    And spiteful and cantankerous
    To all their kin and kith.
    But little girls can draw conclusions
    And profit from their lost illusions.”
    —Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
