Light Sail

Famous quotes containing the words light and/or sail:

Which once he wore!
The glory from his gray hairs gone
Forevermore!”

“We sail within a vast sphere, ever drifting in uncertainty, driven from end to end. When we think to attach ourselves to any point and to fasten to it, it wavers and leaves us; and if we follow it, it eludes our grasp, slips past us, and vanishes for ever. Nothing stays for us.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
