When we first broke into that forbidden box in the other dimension, we knew we had discovered something as surprising and powerful as the New World when Columbus came stumbling onto it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Something pretty mysterious had to give rise to the origin of the universe.
It soon became obvious that we were but on the threshold of the discovery.
The box was a universe, a poem, frozen on the boundaries of human experience.
The Discovery was the most intricate, complex machine man has ever built. It's a testament to our time.
Imagination has brought mankind through the dark ages to its present state of civilization. Imagination led Columbus to discover America. Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity.
Columbus only discovered that he was in some new place. He didn't discover America.
I find it extraordinary that this purpose which drove how we viewed the world is now considered to be something that has no effect upon us.
If we admit a thing so extraordinary as the creation of this world, it should seem that we admit something strange, and odd, and new to human apprehension, beyond any other miracle whatsoever.
The American who first discovered Columbus made a bad discovery.
What a pity, when Christopher Columbus discovered America, that he ever mentioned it.
