“Space isn't remote at all. It's only an hour's drive away if your car could go straight upwards.”
Fred Hoyle (1915–2001) British astronomer
"Sayings of the Week", The Observer (9 September 1979)
“Prohibiting something doesn't make it go away.”
Jesse Ventura (1951) American politician and former professional wrestler
Interview in Playboy (November 1999)
Context: We call our country home of the brave and land of the free, but it's not. We give a false portrayal of freedom. We're not free — if we were, we'd allow people their freedom. Prohibiting something doesn't make it go away. Prostitution is criminal, and bad things happen because it's run illegally by dirt-bags who are criminals. If it's legal, then the girls could have health checks, unions, benefits, anything any other worker gets, and it would be far better.
Robert Graves (1895–1985) English poet and novelist
"A Pinch of Salt".
Fairies and Fusiliers (1917)
Context: Poet, never chase the dream.
Laugh yourself and turn away.
Mask your hunger, let it seem
Small matter if he come or stay;
But when he nestles in your hand at last,
Close up your fingers tight and hold him fast.
“The unexpected connections we make might not last, yet stay with us forever”
Sofia Coppola (1971) screenwriter and director from the United States
