Famous quotes containing the words dream and/or satellite:
“When I sleep I sleep and do not dream because it is as well
that I am what I seem when I am in my bed and
dream.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Books are the best things, well used; abused, among the worst. What is the right use? What is the one end, which all means go to effect? They are for nothing but to inspire. I had better never see a book, than to be warped by its attraction clean out of my own orbit, and made a satellite instead of a system.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
