Famous quotes containing the words rogue and/or planets:

    “Processions that lack high stilts have nothing that catches the eye.
    What if my great-granddad had a pair that were twenty foot high,
    And mine were but fifteen foot, no modern stalks upon higher,
    Some rogue of the world stole them to patch up a fence or a fire.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Perhaps when distant people on other planets pick up some wave-length of ours all they hear is a continuous scream.”
    —Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)
