Planets are too dim to be detected with existing equipment, far away, except in these very special circumstances where they're seen by their gravitational effect. Murray Gell-Mann
The U.S. is by far the biggest exporter of arms in the world. It was true during the Clinton administration, and it's true during the Bush administration. It's bipartisan. Andrew Niccol
