Famous quotes containing the words planetarium and/or heavens:
“In a large university, there are as many deans and executive heads as there are schools and departments. Their relations to one another are intricate and periodic; in fact, “galaxy” is too loose a term: it is a planetarium of deans with the President of the University as a central sun. One can see eclipses, inner systems, and oppositions.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
“The Beggar’s Rags, fluttering in Air,
Does to Rags the Heavens tear.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
