Famous quotes containing the words sailor and/or cosmos:

    Captain Bligh: Mr. Byam, you’re up late.
    Byam: It’s very warm below, sir.

    To sum up:
    1. The cosmos is a gigantic fly-wheel making 10,000 revolutions a minute.
    2. Man is a sick fly taking a dizzy ride on it.
    3. Religion is the theory that the wheel was designed and set spinning to give him the ride.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
