Famous quotes containing the words project and/or orion:

    “They had their fortunes to make, everything to gain and nothing to lose. They were schooled in and anxious for debates; forcible in argument; reckless and brilliant.

    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    ““You know Orion always comes up sideways.
