Famous quotes containing the word space:

    I take SPACE to be the central fact to man born in America.... I spell it large because it comes large here. Large and without mercy.
    Charles Olson (1910–1970)

    It is not through space that I must seek my dignity, but through the management of my thought. I shall have no more if I possess worlds.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    Shall we now
    Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
    And sell the mighty space of our large honors
    For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
    I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
    Than such a Roman.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
