“I am never in a hurry to reach details.

“You know, a landscape painter's day is delightful. You get up early, at three o'clock in the morning, before sunrise; you go and sit under a tree; you watch and wait. At first there is nothing much to be seen. Nature looks like a whitish canvas with a few broad outlines faintly sketched in; all is misty, everything quivers in the cool dawn breeze. The sky lights up. The sun has not yet burst through the gauze veil that hides the meadow, the little valley, the hill on the horizon... Ah, a first ray of sunshine!” KnowsFirstsLooksLittlesArtLightThreeWaitingWatchesMorningSunTreeSkyPainterGet UpHillsLandscapeClockDawnSunshineHorizonBroadsValleysRaysCanvasSunriseDelightfulVeilsBreezeOutlinesMeadowsLight UpUp EarlyMistyQuiverBefore SunriseRay Of Sunshine Author:Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot

“Consider a cask filled with a highly compressed gas. If we open one of its taps the gas will escape through it in a continuous flow, the elasticity of the gas pushing its particles into space will continuously push the cask itself. The result will a continuous change in the motion of the cask. Given a sufficient number of taps (say, six), we would be able to regulate the outflow of the gas as we liked and the cask (or sphere) would describe any curved line in accordance with any law of velocities.” IfsWould BeAbleLawGivenLinesSpaceResultsNumbersSixFlowFilledSufficientGasPushingSpheresParticlesVelocityElasticityContinuous Change Author:Konstantin Tsiolkovsky
“One: There is a low limit of weight [of about] 50 pounds beyond which it is impossible for an animal to fly. Two: The animal machine is far more effective than any we can hope to make. Three: The weight of any machine constructed for flying, including fuel and engineer, cannot be less than three or four hundred pounds. Is it not demonstrated that a true flying machine, self-raising, self-sustaining, self-propelling, is physically impossible?” TwoSelfThreeAnimalFourImpossibleLimitsLowsHundredMachinesWeightIncludingFlyingFuelPoundsEngineersSustainingFlying Machines Author:Joseph LeConte
“From my childhood it has been my conviction that men would reach the planets in my lifetime . . . this conviction . . . rests on two beliefs, one scientific and one political: (1) there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in our present-day science. And we shall only find out what they are if we go out and look for them. (2) it is in the long run essential to the growth of any new and high civilization that small groups of people can escape from their neighbors and from their governments, to go and live as they please in the wilderness.” PeopleIfsMenLooksLongHas BeensTwoGovernmentRunningEarthPoliticalBeliefHeavenGrowthGroupsChildhoodPlanetsPleaseCivilizationEssentialsLifetimeConvictionNeighborWildernessLong RunsHeaven And EarthPresent DaySmall Groups Author:Freeman Dyson
