The history of astronomy is a history of receding horizons. -- Edwin Hubble
At the last dim horizon, we search among ghostly errors of observations for landmarks that are scarcely more substantial. The search will continue. The urge is older than history. It is not satisfied and it will not be oppressed. -- Edwin Hubble
We find them smaller and fainter, in constantly increasing numbers, and we know that we are reaching into space, farther and farther, until, with the faintest nebulae that can be detected with the greatest telescopes, we arrive at the frontier of the known universe. -- Edwin Hubble
Past time is finite, future time is infinite. -- Edwin Hubble
