and latitudes. Only then, will you stop looking back and see the spectacular
view in front of you. — Marisha Pessl

The view of earth is spectacular from space. Most people imagine that when astronauts look out the window of the shuttle they see the whole earth like that big blue marble that was made famous by the flights that went to the moon.

And I suppose my view is shaped by the portholes around me. Eight people probably died from slipping in their showers in the time it took me to have this thought right here of them slipping in their showers. But it's more than the deaths I saw; it's the destruction. The noise with which we go seems to make it count for more.

Go in spectacular fashion, and you're a name. — Hugh Howey

There are, occasionally, writers who are able to combine both story and style. They are, of course, the best. You get a spectacular view and you also get to look at it from the backseat of a chauffeur-driven Cadillac. In the field of fantasy, those writers able to combine story-as-narration with story-as-style are even rarer. But there are a few ... the late Theodore Sturgeon, the early Ray Bradbury ... and Richard Christian Matheson. A brilliant chip off the old block. — Stephen King
