Famous quotes with The point of no return

  • World at some point of time is at the point of no return, so there is no point to try to make it go U Turn through any point looking powerful by the Action or Word.
    Anuj Somany
  • When you are next out of doors on a summer night, turn your head towards the zenith. Almost vertically above you will be shining the brightest star of the northern skies — Vega of the Lyre, twenty-six years away at the speed of light, near enough to the point of no return for us short-lived creatures. Past this blue-white beacon, fifty times as brilliant as our sun, we may send our minds and bodies, but never our hearts. For no man will ever turn homewards beyond Vega, to greet again those he knew and loved on Earth.
    Arthur C. Clarke
