For more than 50 years, men and women around the world have reported sights in the sky that are strange to their experience and understanding. Inasmuch as many of these sights appeared to be solid objects having impressive performance, they have become known as Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) or, colloquially, flying saucers. Their positive identification is one of the major public scientific challenges of the era, with a significant number of these sights so far defying all reasonable efforts at classification.

Don Berliner

There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be.

Terry Pratchett

there are few things that are more endearing than the grace of listening with attention; indeed, it is more than endearing, it is impressive - for no one knows what wisdom lies concealed in silence!

Margaret Deland

There are few sights more pleasant to the eye than a wide cotton field when it is in bloom. It presents an appearance of purity, like an immaculate expanse of light, new-fallen snow.

Solomon Northup

There are few sights more pleasant to the eye, than a wide cotton field when it is in the bloom. It presents an appearance of purity, like an immaculate expanse of light, new-fallen snow.

Solomon Northup

There are few sights sadder than a ruined book.

Daniel Handler

Few sights in science are sadder than astronomers standing in the rain.

Dennis Overbye

There are celestial sights more dazzling, spectacles that inspire more awe, but to the thoughtful observer who is privileged to see them well, there is nothing in the sky so profoundly impressive as the canals of Mars. Fine lines and little gossamer filaments only, cobwebbing the face of the Martian disk, but threads to draw one's mind after them across the millions of miles of intervening void.

Percival Lowell

Set your sights not just on the next few weeks ... set your sights on the years ahead - because our vision will look that far ahead.

William Rainey Harper

I am not an Englishman, I was never an Englishman, and I don't ever want to be one. I am a Scotsman! I was a Scotsman and I will always be one.

Sean Connery

Impressive claims are made far more impressive by making them exact

Claude C. Hopkins

There are few lonelier sights than a good comedian being funny in a movie that doesn't know what funny is.

Roger Ebert

Few kids seek to learn a skill specifically designed to impress people unless they feel less than impressive themselves.

Derren Brown

Smells are surer than sounds or sights To make your heartstrings crack.

Rudyard Kipling

A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come; And we shall be with those that rest, Asleep within the tomb. A few more storms shall beat On this wild rocky shore; And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more. A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more. Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that blest day; Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away.

Horatius Bonar

Quite a few operas are still being commissioned around the world, although nothing apart from audience popularity can ensure more than a few performances.
