Famous quotes containing the words william and/or dubois:
“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. All this and more we know. But their greatest mystery the heavens have kept a secret. What sort of life, if any, inhabits these other planets? Human life, like ours? Or life extremely lower in the scale. Or dangerously higher.”
—Richard Blake, and William Cameron Menzies. Narrator, Invaders from Mars, at the opening of the movie (1953)
“I’d like to live another hundred years yet—and I don’t know but I will, too. My teeth are good, and if I can get enough to eat, I don’t know why I should die. There’s no use in dying—you ain’t good for anything after you are dead.”
—Sylvia Dubois (1788?–1889)
