J. Robert Oppenheimer

George Orwell

Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.
Frank Outlaw
When we walk to the edge of all the light we have and take the step into the darkness of the unknown, we must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for us to stand on or we will be taught to fly.
Patrick Overton
