When I said, 'I feel like everything I tried to do is there', it is less because of what I did than it is a case of Michael keeping his word.

Drive over to the nearest airport, and enroll in flight classes. You will experience the joy of freedom in the air above, as you study the mechanics of how this is made possible by understanding the construction, the laws of motion, the air that can provide lift when it is moved by propulsion through the air, and stay above the gravity pulling the airplane back down to earth.
Buzz Aldrin
It is good to have a reminder of death before us, for it helps us to understand the impermanence of life on this earth, and this understanding may aid us in preparing for our own death.

Black Elk
All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.

Nathan Myhrvold
If China was like the moon, then arriving in Saudi Arabia was Mars. At least you can see the moon from Earth.
Basmah bint Saud

Antonin Artaud
Not everybody is absolutely stupid. Why on earth would I be racist, what would I be trying to achieve?
Morrissey
