Famous quotes containing the words search and/or space:

    “If ever the search for a tranquil belief should end,
    The future might stop emerging out of the past,
    Out of what is full of us; yet the search
    And the future emerging out of us seem to be one.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Thus all our dignity lies in thought. Through it we must raise ourselves, and not through space or time, which we cannot fill. Let us endeavor, then, to think well: this is the mainspring of morality.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
