We are the bright new stars born of a screaming black hole, the nascent suns burst from the darkness, from the grasping void of space that folds and swallows--a darkness that would devour anyone not as strong as we. We are oddities, sideshows, talk show subjects. We capture everyone's imagination.
Without pain, without sacrifice we would have nothing. Like the first monkey shot into space.

The night sky lies so sprent with stars that there is scarcely space of black at all and they fall all night in bitter arcs and it is so that their numbers are no less.
Years later he'd stood in the charred ruins of a library where blackened books lay in pools of water. Shelves tipped over. Some rage at the lies arranged in their thousands row on row.

That the space which these things occupied was itself an expectation.
Faith does not protect you. Medicine and airbags... Those are the things that protect you. God does not protect you. Intelligence protects you. Enlightenment. Put your faith in something with tangible results. How long has it been since someone walked on water? Modern miracles belong to science.. Computers, vaccines, space stations... Even the devine miracle of creation. Matter from nothing... In a lab. Who needs God? No! Science is God!
Medicine, electronic communications, space travel, genetic manipulation . . . these are the miracles about which we now tell our children. These are the miracles we herald as proof that science will bring us the answers. The ancient stories of immaculate conceptions, burning bushes, and parting seas are no longer relevant. God has become obsolete. Science has won the battle.
Atoms are mainly empty space. Matter is composed chiefly of nothing.
The space that I can call mine.. is so small that my ideas have become small.

I like these people swarming on the sidewalks, wedged into a little space of houses and canals, hemmed in by fogs, cold lands, and the sea streaming like a wet wash. I like them, for they are double. They are here and elsewhere.
Nothing makes time pass or shortens the way like a thought that absorbs in itself all the faculties of the one who is thinking. External existence is then like a sleep of which this thought is the dream. Under its influence, time has no more measure, space has no more distance.
Through my fingers, grains of sand fall randomly, an unorganized beam of silica that seems to be pregnant of all conceivable forms... But everything is an illusion. Things have their forms not only in space, but also in time. Like thick blocks of marble that brings encrusted in them, statues in the future.
If someone comes up to me, 90 percent of the time it's about Office Space.
That space would cost 170 a month if it were being rented. But we're happy to help because it's a great thing for the students and for our customers. It works out really well. We've had people say that it is a good idea and a chance for them to have examinations done at a convenient time. The fact that exams are free also helps a lot of people.

During Apollo, there was no incentive to make things less expensive, only to win and beat the Soviet Union, ...

There was no incentive to make it economical or commercially feasible.
This property has deserved this for a long time. We needed something that was a real 'wow' space. The best stores in the world can only draw so much traffic. It has to feel good, too.

A pedestal is as much a prison as any small, confined space.

A lot of these guys are used to playing with more time and space. They played the game a lot slower in their native country. They are not accustomed to the high pressure, the voracity of the Americans.

He gets frustrated because he isn't performing the way he is accustomed to, and he lashes out, often at the referee.
