Famous quotes containing the words stretched, satellite and/or series:

Your journey is shorter to heaven.”
—Unknown. The Night before Larry Was Stretched (l. 57–58)
“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)
“Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
