—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Thine age asks ease, and since thy duties be
To warm the world, that’s done in warming us.
Shine here to us, and thou art everywhere;
This bed thy center is, these walls, thy sphere.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
“Where there is an observatory and a telescope, we expect that any eyes will see new worlds at once.”
