Context: There's always something that's smoldering somewhere
I know it don't make a difference to you
But oh! It sure made a difference to me
You'll see me off in the distance, I hope
At the other end
At the other end of the telescope.

Song lyrics, Everything's Different Now (1988)
“The world keeps on changing, but there is always something, somewhere, that remains the same.”
“Everything (he kept saying) is something it isn't. And everybody is always somewhere else.”
The Door http://fiction.eserver.org/short/the_door.html (1939)
“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.”
This phrase was created by reporter Sharon Begley in the end of a 1977 Newsweek article with an extended profile of Carl Sagan. It was a final conclusion about Sagan's work and the topic of hypotethical extra-terrestrial life forms. "Quote Investigator" http://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/03/18/incredible/

Context: What did today's sacrifices matter: the Universe lay ahead in the future. What did burnings at the stake and massacres matter? The Universe was somewhere else, always somewhere else! And it isn't anywhere: there are only men, men eternally divided.
