It is the greatest shot of adrenaline to be doing what you have wanted to do so badly. You almost feel like you could fly without the plane.

Is he alone who has courage on his right hand and faith on his left hand?

Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance.

Isn't it strange that we talk least about the things we think about most?

I realized that If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.

I owned the world that hour as I rode over it. free of the earth, free of the mountains, free of the clouds, but how inseparably I was bound to them.

In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.

To a person in love, the value of the individual is intuitively known. Love needs no logic for its mission.

Real freedom lies in wildness, not in civilization.

Living in dreams of yesterday, we find ourselves still dreaming of impossible future conquests.

Man must feel the earth to know himself and recognize his values... God made life simple. It is man who complicates it.

I have seen the science I worshiped, and the aircraft I loved, destroying the civilization I expected them to serve.

If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes.

Life is a culmination of the past, an awareness of the present, an indication of a future beyond knowledge, the quality that gives a touch of divinity to matter.

How long can men thrive between walls of brick, walking on asphalt pavements, breathing the fumes of coal and oil, growing, working, dying, with hardly a thought of wind, and sky, and fields of grain, seeing only machine-made beauty, the mineral-like quality of life?

I am shocked at the attitude of our American troops. They have no respect for death, the courage of an enemy soldier, or many of the ordinary decencies of life.

I know I will be severely criticized by the interventionists in America when I say we should not enter a war unless we have a reasonable chance of winning.

In time of war, truth is always replaced by propaganda.

No person with a sense of the dignity of mankind can condone the persecution of the Jewish race in Germany.

Real freedom lies in wildness, not civilization.

Time is no longer endless or the horizon destitute of hope.

Tolerance is a virtue that depends upon peace and strength.

We Americans are a primitive people... Americans seem to have little respect for the law or the rights of others.

We are in grave danger of losing forever not just millions of years of evolution on earth, but the eons of change that have produced man and his natural environment.

Aviation has struck a delicately balanced world, a world where stability was already giving way to the pressure of new dynamic forces, a world dominated by a mechanical, materialist, Western European civilization.

Aviation constituted a new and possibly decisive element in preventing or fighting a war, and I was in a unique position to observe European aviation especially in its military aspects.

When environment changes there must be a corresponding change in life.

As civilization advances, man grows unconscious of the primitive elements of life; he is separated from them by his perfection of material techniques.

We can so reconstruct society that it will be self-perpetuating instead of as now, self-exhaustive.

There's a power in women being women. There's a role for men, but we don't have to be men, because we're women. I think that representing that on television is a cool thing.

I want to be my own person.

Hey, if we didn't overcharge for our product - guess what - people wouldn't have to buy used games.

I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw that my bath toys were a toaster and a radio.

I type my sermon notes into my BlackBerry, then I upload my sermon notes to my blog, my Facebook page and some of the information to my Twitter account. That's 100,000 people I'm sharing the Gospel with by the virtue of typing it into my BlackBerry as opposed to writing it down. That is being efficient with my time.

Nobody could like Donald Trump, surely, except his mother. No one really likes The Donald. But how can you not have respect for a guy who's been down on the floor and just keeps coming back? Nothing will keep Donald Trump down until they drive a wooden stake in his heart and a silver bullet in his brain.

I was a fighter and very determined. There was no way I was going to back out without winning.

I'm a kid from Boston.

Capitalism is a system for determining objective value.

I like a man who can be a real friend, has a good sense of humor, a good pair of shoes and a healthy gold card.

Becoming a mother hasn't necessarily changed how I shoot, but it certainly has made me more sensitive, and it certainly makes it much harder for me to photograph dying children.

Neither am I on an extreme diet nor am I on an extreme workout.

When I read a script, I have to see the funny, and if I can see it's funny, it helps me to be able to transmit that.

Just like other illnesses, depression can be treated so that people can live happy, active lives.

For John Woo, it is quite difficult to make a movie in Hollywood in his own style. Because Hollywood is based on a producer system, it is difficult for a director to express himself using his own style of filmmaking.

At first, teaching was more or less a straightforward way of making a living and having access to institutional resources while writing - aka libraries. And that was not inconsiderable. But it didn't in any way touch the writing. Maybe it would push the writing aside sometimes, but mostly it was fine.
