“Yet for all the childish innocence of its bizarre glamor, Venice developed an atmosphere, or became the outpost of a sinister deep-rooted power.... It is a place of dreams, not only the tinseled ones.” DreamInnocenceAtmosphereRootedBizarreVeniceSinister Book:The Black Gondolier: And Other Stories Source: The Black Gondolier: And Other Stories
“We're free out here, really free for the first time. We're floating, literally. Gravity can't bow our backs or break our arches or tame our ideas. You know, it's only out here that stupid people like us can really think. The weightlessness gets our thoughts and we can sort them. Ideas grow out here like nowhere else - it's the right environment for them. Anyone can get into space, if he wants to hard enough. The ticket is a dream.” PeopleIfsThinkingKnowsWantFirstsIdeasHardEnoughDreamGrowsSpaceBreakEnvironmentStupidFirst TimeGravityBowsTicketsTravelerOur ThoughtsFloatingAstronautStupid PeopleSpace TravelArchesWeightlessness Author:Fritz Leiber
