Famous quotes containing the words scene and/or explorer:
“How many ages hence
Shall this our lofty scene be acted over
In states unborn and accents yet unknown!”

“Treading the soil of the moon, palpating its pebbles, tasting the panic and splendor of the event, feeling in the pit of one’s stomach the separation from terra ... these form the most romantic sensation an explorer has ever known ... this is the only thing I can say about the matter. The utilitarian results do not interest me.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
