Planet Venus

Famous quotes containing the words planet and/or venus:

    Thus will the fondest dream of Phallic science be realized: a pristine new planet populated entirely by little boy clones of great scientific entrepeneurs ... free to smash atoms, accelerate particles, or, if they are so moved, build pyramids—without any social relevance or human responsibility at all.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    For her own person,
    It beggared all description: she did lie
    In her pavilion—cloth of gold, of tissue—
    O’er-picturing that Venus where we see
    The fancy outwork nature.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
