Famous quotes containing the words night and/or mission:
“So tedious is this day
As is the night before some festival
To an impatient child that hath new robes
And may not wear them.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We can come up with a working definition of life, which is what we did for the Viking mission to Mars. We said we could think in terms of a large molecule made up of carbon compounds that can replicate, or make copies of itself, and metabolize food and energy. So that’s the thought: macrocolecule, metabolism, replication.”
—Cyril Ponnamperuma (b. 1923)
