Famous quotes containing the words satellite and/or craters:
“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)
“Listen.
We must all stop dying in the little ways,
in the craters of hate,
in the potholes of indifference....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
