Seth Shostak Zitate

Sterne fliegen durch den Weltraum, und Galaxien drehen sich tausendmal schneller als ein Düsenflugzeug. Aber angesichts ihrer Entfernung müssten Sie die Geduld von Hiob brauchen, um eine große Veränderung in ihrem Aussehen oder ihrer Position zu bemerken.

'Let's Get Harry' was where I met Bob Singer and worked with him for the first time, and then 'Reasonable Doubts' was the second time, and there was a thing after that called 'Charlie Grace' that was the third time. I liked working with Bob. A nice man and a good partner.

Yet thousands of slaves throughout the southern states are thus handed over by the masters who own them to masters who do not; and it does not require much demonstration to prove that their estate is not always the more gracious.
