call it death. But for man, no rest and no ending. He must go on, conquest
beyond conquest. First this little planet and all its winds and ways, and
then all the laws of mind and matter that restrain him. Then the planets
about him, and, at last, out across immensities to the stars. And when he
has conquered all the deep space, and all the mysteries of time, still he
will be beginning." | |

| "History has been kinder to Churchill than many of his contemporaries
ever were. Some may be surprised to learn that the following luminary from
the field of science-fiction had anything political to say at all:
"Winston Churchill, the present would-be British Fuehrer, is a person with
a range of ideas limited to the adventures and opportunities of British
political life. He has never given evidence of thinking extensively, or of
any scientific or literary capacity.... His ideology, picked up in the
garrison life of India, on the reefs of South Africa, the maternal home
and the conversation of wealthy Conservative households, is a pitiful
jumble of incoherent nonsense. A boy scout is better equipped. He has
served his purpose and it is high time he retired upon his laurels before
we forget the debt we owe him...."" | |
