Telescope Quotations
Where there is an observatory and a telescope, we expect that any eyes will see new worlds at once.
Henry David Thoreau
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.
Dr. Seuss
The fellow that can only see a week ahead is always the popular fellow, for he is looking with the crowd. But the one that can see years ahead, he has a telescope but he can't make anybody believe that he has it.
Will Rogers
A telescope will magnify a star a thousand times, but a good press agent can do even better.
Fred Allen
We see past time in a telescope and present time in a microscope. Hence the apparent enormities of the present.
Victor Hugo
Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope.
Josh Billings
The soul without imagination is what an observatory would be without a telescope.
Henry Ward Beecher
Tears are often the telescope by which men see far into heaven.
Henry Ward Beecher
The Next Generation Space Telescope, which will be located much further away from the Earth than the Hubble Space Telescope presently is, will also explore the infrared part of the spectrum.
Claude Nicollier
The future infrared space telescope will cover that area in a much more efficient manner.
Claude Nicollier
