Famous quotes containing the words space and/or travelers:

    “The merit of those who fill a space in the world’s history, who are borne forward, as it were, by the weight of thousands whom they lead, shed a perfume less sweet than do the sacrifices of private virtue.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “That is a pathetic inquiry among travelers and geographers after the site of ancient Troy. It is not near where they think it is. When a thing is decayed and gone, how indistinct must be the place it occupied!”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
