Famous quotes containing the words region, special and/or forces:
“The Heavens. Once an object of superstition, awe and fear. Now a vast region for growing knowledge. The distance of Venus, the atmosphere of Mars, the size of Jupiter, and the speed of Mercury.

Or life extremely lower in the scale. Or dangerously higher.”
