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)

    Part way back from Bedlam
    I came to my mother’s house in Gloucester,
    Massachusetts. And this is how I came
    to catch at her; and this is how I lost her.
    I cannot forgive your suicide, my mother said.
    And she never could.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
