Famous quotes containing the words high, grass and/or circus:

    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)

    The driveway waited. The grass was mown.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey-cage.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
