Quotes by Gustav Mahler

Quotes by Gunter Grass

Every day sees humanity more victorious in the struggle with space and time.

Quotes by Guglielmo Marconi

Quotes by Greta Scacchi

Quotes by Gregory H. Johnson

The building of the International Space Station is something wonderful, and it will show us how to take the next step beyond low-Earth orbit.

Quotes by Graham Moore

In football, time and space are the same thing.

Quotes by Graham Taylor

Space exploration promised us alien life, lucrative planetary mining, and fabulous lunar colonies. News flash, ladies and gents: Space is nearly empty. It's a sterile vacuum, filled mostly with the junk we put up there.

Quotes by Graham Hawkes

I find the production in 'A&E' very beautiful, it reminds me of Ace Of Base, the way the bass has that space and the reggae.

Quotes by Grace Chatto
