Famous quotes containing the words search and/or space:

    You have riches and freedom here but I feel no sense of faith or direction. You have so many computers, why don’t you use them in the search for love?
    Lech Walesa (b. 1943)

    Not so many years ago there there was no simpler or more intelligible notion than that of going on a journey. Travel—movement through space—provided the universal metaphor for change.... One of the subtle confusions—perhaps one of the secret terrors—of modern life is that we have lost this refuge. No longer do we move through space as we once did.
    Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
