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)

    Dear friend,
    I will have to sink with hundreds of others
    on a dumbwaiter into hell.
    I will be a light thing.
    I will enter death
    like someone’s lost optical lens.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
