Famous quotes containing the words robert and/or bolt:

    When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb.
    —J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904–1967)

    My sleeping pill is white.
    It is a splendid pearl;
    it floats me out of myself,
    my stung skin as alien
    as a loose bolt of cloth.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
