Apollo has peeped through the shutter, And awaken'd the witty and fair The boarding-school belle's in a flutter, The twopenny post's in despair The breath of the morning is flinging A magic on blossom and spray, And cockneys and sparrows are singing In chorus on Valentine's day.
Winthrop Mackworth Praed

Apollo 13, as you may remember, gave us a reactor that is bubbling away right now somewhere in the Pacific. It's supposed to be bubbling away on the moon, but it's in the Pacific Ocean instead.

Apollo Records signed me for my gospel ability.
Solomon Burke

Apollo was a big, unwieldy vehicle. I had a problem with the flight controllers over that. It would try to fare its way like an airplane.
Wally Schirra

Apollo without Dionysus may indeed be a well-informed, good citizen but he's a dull fellow. He may even be 'cultured,' in the sense one often gets from traditionalist writings in education. . . . But without Dionysus he will never make and remake a culture.
Jerome Bruner

Apollo wasn't just about sending people into space. It transformed so much of our economy. From our education system to so many of the things we use today, it was a vision that led to the total transformation of the planet.
Kesha Rogers

Some of the wives didn't keep up with the program. It started breaking apart during the Apollo days.

The wildest hath not such a heart as you. Run when you will, the story shall be changed: Apollo flies, and Daphne holds the chase The dove pursues the griffin the mild hind Makes speed to catch the tiger bootless speed, When cowardice pursues and valour flies.
William Shakespeare
Image
Space has not changed but technology has, in many cases, improved dramatically. A good example is digital technology where today's cell phones are far more powerful than the computers on the Apollo Command Module and Lunar Module that we used to navigate to the moon and operate all the spacecraft control systems.
Neil Armstrong

So you wound up with Apollo/If he's sometimes hard to swallow/Use this.
Paul Newman

Time flies when you're having fun, and I've been having fun for the last thirty years. Reflecting on the upcoming 30th anniversary of Apollo 11.
Pete Conrad
Image
They assembled together and dedicated these as the first-fruits of their love to Apollo in his Delphic temple, inscribing there those maxims which are on every tongue- 'know thyselP and 'Nothing overmuch.'
Plato

I look on Sculpture as history. I do not think the Apollo and the Jove impossible in flesh and blood. Every trait the artist recorded in stone, he had seen in life, and better than his copy.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
I have found it an amusing strategy, when asked whether I am an atheist, to point out that the questioner is also an atheist when considering Zeus, Apollo, Amon Ra, Mithras, Baal, Thor, Wotan, the Golden Calf and the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I just go one god further.
Richard Dawkins

Dreams like a podcast, Downloading truth in my ears. They tell me cool stuff. Apollo? I guess, because I figured nobody else could make a haiku that bad. He put his finger to his lips. I'm incognito. Call me Fred. A god named Fred?
Rick Riordan

Okay, I said. Just a normal afternoon and two normal people. She nodded. And so...hypothetically, if these to people likes each other, what would it take to get the stupid guy to kiss the girl, huh? Oh... I felt like one of Apollo's sacred cows-slow, dumb, and bright red. Um.
Rick Riordan

Red cattle, Annabeth said. The cattle of the sun. What? I [Percy] asked. They're sacred to Apollo. Holy cows?

I did Showtime at the Apollo when I was 10, and it was the first time that Id ever performed on TV, and it felt great.

in a sense, all poetry is positional: to try to express one's position in regard to the universe embraced by consciousness, is an immemorial urge. The arms of consciousness reach out and grope, and the longer they are the better. Tentacles, not wings, are Apollo's natural members.
Vladimir Nabokov

Kennedy had made a mess in Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. He had to do something to look good. The Apollo program of going to the Moon was quite a goal.
Wally Schirra

The shadow had followed behind them, clinging to their steps and the two children little suspected its presence when they at last sat down, trustingly, under the mighty protection of Apollo, who, with a great bronze gesture, lifted his huge lyre to the heart of a crimson sky.
Gaston Leroux

I guess those of us who have been with NASA kind of understand the tremendous excitement and thrills and celebrations and national pride that went with the Apollo program is just something you're not going to create again, probably until we go to Mars.
Alan Shepard

I had gotten pregnant with Apollo, and I didn't plan on that - it was just such a beautiful miracle. Four weeks later they called me and, like Do you want to do The Voice? It was this incredible opportunity to do something different.
Gwen Stefani

My iPhone has 2 million times the storage of the 1969 Apollo 11 computer. They went to the moon. I throw birds at pig houses
