Famous quotes containing the words space and/or suits:
“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)
“The sole art that suits me is that which, rising from unrest, tends toward serenity.”
—André Gide (1869–1951)
