Famous quotes containing the words main and/or gallery:

    “—the main jet
    Struggling aloft unti it seems at rest

    In the act of rising, until
    The very wish of water is reversed,”
    —Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)

    “To a person uninstructed in natural history, his country or sea-side stroll is a walk through a gallery filled with wonderful works of art, nine-tenths of which have their faces turned to the wall. Teach him something of natural history, and you place in his hands a catalogue of those which are worth turning round.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
