Planetary Ball

Famous quotes containing the words planetary and/or ball:

    We cannot cheat on DNA. We cannot get round photosynthesis. We cannot say I am not going to give a damn about phytoplankton. All these tiny mechanisms provide the preconditions of our planetary life. To say we do not care is to say in the most literal sense that “we choose death.”
    Barbara Ward (1914–1981)

    The ball loved Flick.
    I saw him rack up thirty-eight or forty
    In one home game. His hands were like wild birds.
    John Updike (b. 1932)
