Star Wars Republic

Famous quotes containing the words star wars, star, wars and/or republic:

    It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy’s edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create “one world.” Instead of one world, we have “star wars,” and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet’s dead.
    Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

    A rocket is an experiment; a star is an observation.
    José Bergamín (1895–1983)

    America is addicted to wars of distraction.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    Our constitution works. Our great republic is a government of laws, not of men.
    Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
