Space Shuttle Vehicle

Famous quotes containing the words space, shuttle and/or vehicle:

    “It is not through space that I must seek my dignity, but through the management of my thought. I shall have no more if I possess worlds.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    “And the shuttle never falters, but to draw an encouraging conclusion
    From this would be considerable, too odd. Why not just
    Breathe in with the courage of each day, recognizing yourself as one
    Who must with difficulty get down from high places?”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “How strange a vehicle it is, coming down unchanged from times of old romance, and so characteristically black, the way no other thing is black except a coffin—a vehicle evoking lawless adventures in the plashing stillness of night, and still more strongly evoking death itself, the bier, the dark obsequies, the last silent journey!”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
