Famous quotes containing the words space and/or probe:

    “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)

    “Y’know scientists are funny. We probe and measure and dissect. Invent lights without heat, weigh a caterpillar’s eyebrow. But when it comes to really important things we’re as stupid as the caveman.... Like love. Makes the world go ‘round, but what do we know about it? Is it a fact? Is it chemistry? Electricity?”
    —Martin Berkeley, and Jack Arnold. Helen Dobson (Lori Nelson)
