Famous quotes containing the words flight and/or steps:
“It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy’s edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create “one world.” Instead of one world, we have “star wars,” and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet’s dead.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“I honor most those to whom I show least honor; and where my soul moves with great alacrity, I forget the proper steps of ceremony.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
