The smaller the planets are, they are, other things being equal, of so much the greater density; for so the powers of gravity on their several surfaces come nearer to equality. They are likewise, other things being equal, of the greater density, as they are nearer to the sun.
Isaac NewtonI have more than once in my time woken up feeling like death.
Christopher HitchensWhatever you believe with feeling becomes your reality.
Brian TracyStood off and on during the night, determining not to come to anchor till morning, fearing to meet with shoals; continued our course in the morning; and as the island was found to be six or seven leagues distant, and the tide was against us, it was noon when we arrived there.
Christopher ColumbusPainting is concerned with all the 10 attributes of sight; which are: Darkness, Light, Solidity and Colour, Form and Position, Distance and Propinquity, Motion and Rest.
Leonardo da VinciIt’s time for the human race to enter the solar system.
Dan QuayleThe immortality of the soul is a matter which is of so great consequence to us and which touches us so profoundly that we must have lost all feeling to be indifferent about it.
Blaise PascalThe astronomer will believe that the most erratic comet will yet accomplish its journey and revisit our sphere; but we give up those for lost who have not wandered one-half the distance from the centre of light and life.
Charles SpurgeonScience must have originated in the feeling that something was wrong.
Thomas CarlyleThere is no object so large but that at a great distance from the eye it does not appear smaller than a smaller object near.
Leonardo da VinciThe solar system can support a trillion humans. And then we’d have a thousand Mozarts and a thousand Einsteins.
Jeff BezosI dislike feeling at home when I am abroad.
George Bernard ShawAtheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance.
Isaac NewtonIf I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
Emily DickinsonI often visited a particular plant four or five miles distant, half a dozen times within a fortnight, that I might know exactly when it opened.
Henry David ThoreauWonder is the feeling of the philosopher, and philosophy begins in wonder.
PlatoNothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes.
Henry David ThoreauThis most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being.
Isaac NewtonFarming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you’re a thousand miles from the corn field.
Dwight D. EisenhowerRebellion cannot exist without the feeling that somewhere, in some way, you are justified.
Albert CamusSongs don’t have to be about going out on Saturday night and having a good rink-up and driving home and crashing cars. A lot of what I’ve done is about alienation… about where you fit in society.
David BowieEverywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.
Steven WrightWhen I listen to a song, I don’t say, ‚Oh my gosh, that vocal line she sang was the best thing I ever heard.‘ I’m thinking, ‚That lyric just moves me. That lyric just said what I feel better than I could say it myself.‘
Taylor SwiftMars is the only place in the solar system where it’s possible for life to become multi-planetarian.
Elon MuskNothing is further than earth from heaven, and nothing is nearer than heaven to earth.
David HareI read ‚The High Frontier‘ in high school. I read it multiple times, and I was already primed. As soon as I read it, it made sense to me. It seemed very clear that planetary surfaces were not the right place for an expanding civilization inside our solar system.
Jeff BezosI am in the world feeling my way to light ‚amid the encircling gloom.‘
Mahatma GandhiDistance does not decide who is your brother and who is not. The church is going to have to become the conscience of the free market if it’s to have any meaning in this world – and stop being its apologist.
BonoThere are a number of things wrong with Washington. One of them is that everyone is too far from home.
Dwight D. EisenhowerOne rule that will work if it is used everywhere, is that when you have a free-kick, the referee puts the mark on the floor to make sure the defenders keep their distance.
Cristiano RonaldoI found that part of it towards San Salvador extending from north to south five leagues, and the other side which we coasted along, ran from east to west more than ten leagues.
Christopher ColumbusAll of our reasoning ends in surrender to feeling.
Blaise PascalLoneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
Mother TeresaOne thing that I find very unmotivating is the kind of Plan B argument: when Earth gets destroyed, you want to be somewhere else. That doesn’t work for me. We have sent robotic probes now to every place in the solar system, and this is the best one.
Jeff BezosI always felt an outsider.
J. K. RowlingWe have one planet in our solar system that’s habitable, and that’s the Earth, and space travel can transform things back here for the better. First of all, by just having people go to space and look back on this fragile planet we live on. People have come back transformed and have done fantastic things.
Richard BransonWisdom is nothing but a preparation of the soul, a capacity, a secret art of thinking, feeling and breathing thoughts of unity at every moment of life.
Hermann HesseThose movies sure got me into a rut.
Elvis PresleyI’ve never gotten thick skin. If you close yourself off and you get this protective armor, there is a price you pay with that – of not feeling. And feeling is important when you are a songwriter.
Taylor SwiftI think we have a good chance of surviving long enough to colonize the solar system.
Stephen HawkingIf you want special results, you have to feel special things and do special things together. You can speak about spirit, or you can live it.
Jurgen KloppEvery portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter.
Oscar WildeWhy there is one body in our System qualified to give light and heat to all the rest, I know no reason but because the Author of the System thought it convenient; and why there is but one body of this kind, I know no reason, but because one was sufficient to warm and enlighten all the rest.
Isaac NewtonHe who lives in our mind is near though he may actually be far away; but he who is not in our heart is far though he may really be nearby.
ChanakyaFor time is the longest distance between two places.
Tennessee WilliamsJust as the system of the sun, planets and comets is put in motion by the forces of gravity, and its parts persist in their motions, so the smaller systems of bodies also seem to be set in motion by other forces and their particles to be variously moved in relation to each other and, especially, by the electric force.
Isaac NewtonWe have the resources to build room for a trillion humans in this solar system, and when we have a trillion humans, we’ll have a thousand Einsteins and a thousand Mozarts. It will be a way more interesting place to live.
Jeff BezosWhat then do you call your soul? What idea have you of it? You cannot of yourselves, without revelation, admit the existence within you of anything but a power unknown to you of feeling and thinking.
VoltaireThe true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality.
Che GuevaraI’ve got a feeling that music might not be the most interesting place to be in the world of things.
Brian EnoIf you get something right, you really feel it, right in your chest, on stage. I think it’s an incomparable experience.
Jerry SeinfeldThe feeling is constantly growing on me that I had been the first to hear the greeting of one planet to another.
Nikola TeslaHere comes 40. I’m feeling my age and I’ve ordered the Ferrari. I’m going to get the whole mid-life crisis package.
Keanu ReevesI used to consider the listener. But now I’m in a space where, if I’m not inspired, I can’t really do the music. I can’t feel it.
Kendrick LamarFear is a spirit that produces a feeling.
Joyce MeyerNo other planet in the solar system is a suitable home for human beings; it’s this world or nothing. That’s a very powerful perception.
Carl SaganMost of the confidence which I appear to feel, especially when influenced by noon wine, is only a pretense.
Tennessee WilliamsA friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
Khalil GibranIndividuality is founded in feeling; and the recesses of feeling, the darker, blinder strata of character, are the only places in the world in which we catch real fact in the making, and directly perceive how events happen, and how work is actually done.
William JamesEven though I write about the human race, the further away from them, the better I feel. Two miles is great; two thousand miles is beautiful.
Charles Bukowski
