Famous quotes containing the words deep and/or space:
“And so you have found out that secret—one of the deep secrets of Life—that all, that is really worth the doing, is what we do for others?”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
“But alas! I never could keep a promise. I do not blame myself for this weakness, because the fault must lie in my physical organization. It is likely that such a very liberal amount of space was given to the organ which enables me to make promises, that the organ which should enable me to keep them was crowded out. But I grieve not. I like no half-way things. I had rather have one faculty nobly developed than two faculties of mere ordinary capacity.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
