Famous quotes containing the words satellite, missile and/or test:
“Books are the best things, well used; abused, among the worst. What is the right use? What is the one end, which all means go to effect? They are for nothing but to inspire. I had better never see a book, than to be warped by its attraction clean out of my own orbit, and made a satellite instead of a system.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“... the truth is the hardest missile one can be pelted with.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Poetry is important. No less than science, it seeks a hold upon reality, and the closeness of its approach is the test of its success.”
—Babette Deutsch (1895–1982)
