Famous quotes containing the words national and/or observatory:

    “But the creative person is subject to a different, higher law than mere national law. Whoever has to create a work, whoever has to bring about a discovery or deed which will further the cause of all of humanity, no longer has his home in his native land but rather in his work.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “Where there is an observatory and a telescope, we expect that any eyes will see new worlds at once.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
