Famous quotes containing the words space and/or adventures:
“Mere human beings can’t afford to be fanatical about anything.... Not even about justice or loyalty. The fanatic for justice ends by murdering a million helpless people to clear a space for his law-courts. If we are to survive on this planet, there must be compromises.”
—Storm Jameson (1891–1986)
“The good critic is he who relates the adventures of his soul among masterpieces.”
—Anatole France (1844–1924)
