"Space isn't remote at all.  It's only an hour's drive away if your car could go straight up."

Dan Quayle quotes

"Mars is essentially in the same orbit-Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important.
We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, anJd water.  If there is water, that means there is oxygen.  If
oxygen, that means we can breathe" 8/11/89

"For NASA, space is still high priority" 9/5/90

Steven Wright

"A friend of mine once sent me a post card with a picture of the entire planet Earth taken from space.  On the back it
said `Wish you were here.'"

"I was in a job interview and opened a book and started reading.  Then I said to the guy, `Let me ask you a little
question.  If you are in a spaceship traveling at the  speed of light, and you turn on the headlights, does any thing
happen?'  He said `I don't know' I said `I don't want your job.'"
 
 

Rabindranath Tagore (Indian writer and philosopher)

 "You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water."
