Stranded Satellite

Famous quotes containing the words stranded and/or satellite:

“Durer would have seen a reason for living
in a town like this, with eight stranded whales
to look at;”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

“Books are the best things, well used; abused, among the worst. What is the right use? What is the one end, which all means go to effect? They are for nothing but to inspire. I had better never see a book, than to be warped by its attraction clean out of my own orbit, and made a satellite instead of a system.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
