Blurry Quote by Robert Lloyd

“Walking on the moon is now something that people used to do, in the distant past, like macramé, decoupage and the Hustle… There will just be the pictures, then, as we saw them in the summer of '69, ghostly and blurry, colorless and incomprehensible, an infant's glimpse of a new world.” quote by Robert Lloyd
