Observatory Quotes

Observatory Definition  
In October, 1865, occurred what was, in my eyes, the greatest event in the history of the observatory. The new transit circle arrived from Berlin in its boxes.
Simon Newcomb

The result was that, if it happened to clear off after a cloudy evening, I frequently arose from my bed at any hour of the night or morning and walked two miles to the observatory to make some observation included in the programme.
Simon Newcomb

The soul without imagination is what an observatory would be without a telescope.
Henry Ward Beecher

Where there is an observatory and a telescope, we expect that any eyes will see new worlds at once.
Henry David Thoreau
