Famous quotes containing the words total, time and/or space:
“If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man’s future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual’s total development lags behind?”
—Maria Montessori (1870–1952)
“Old hippies don’t die, they just lie low until the laughter stops and their time comes round again.”
—Joseph Gallivan (b. 1964)
“Oh, my. I’d forgotten how much I hate space travel.”
—George Lucas (b. 1944)
