Famous quotes containing the words deep and/or space:

    “With deep men, as with deep wells, it takes a long time for anything that falls into them to hit bottom. Onlookers, who almost never wait long enough, readily suppose that such men are callous and unresponsive—or even boring.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “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)
