Michael  Collins
“The earth from orbit is a delight—alive, inviting, enchanting—offering visual variety and an emotional feeling of belonging “down there.” Not so with this withered, sun-seared peach pit out my window. There is no comfort to it; it is too stark and barren; its invitation is monotonous and meant for geologists only. Look at this crater, look at that one, are they the result of impacts, or volcanism, or a mixture of both?”
Michael Collins, Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut's Journey

Michael  Collins
“Even more basic, any EVA puts man just one thin, glued-together, rubber membrane away from near-instant death.”
Michael Collins, Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut's Journey

Brit Bennett
“How she felt that you could flick away history like shrugging a hand off your shoulder.”
Brit Bennett, The Vanishing Half

George Orwell
“It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.”
George Orwell, 1984

Michael  Collins
“Finally, I must say that below the threshold of fear for life and limb there lurks a similar emotion, perhaps not fear but at least apprehension, a worry, not that you are going to be killed, but that you will be terribly embarrassed.”
Michael Collins, Carrying the Fire: An Astronaut's Journey
