"But if it turns out that four hours pass - and another four - and nothing happens?" asked Theremin softly.
"Don't let that worry you. Enough will happen.'

It would be hard to stand, I admit, because I'd have to make you all out to be a bunch of gibbering idiots, but if I can get people laughing at you, they might forget to be angry.

There just isn't any place in the universe you could put a million sun's - unless they touch one another.

Supposing you have an universe in which there was a planet with only one sun [...] "Of course," continued Beenay, "there's the catch that life would be impossible on such a planet. It wouldn't get enough heat and light, and if it rotated there would be total Darkness half of each day. You couldn't expect life - which is fundamentally dependent upon light - to develop under those conditions."

The long night had come again.
