Famous quotes containing the words waves and/or radar:

    “Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,
    So do our minutes hasten to their end;
    Each changing place with that which goes before,
    In sequent toil all forwards do contend.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    —Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
