The ideals of the party were close to me, and I have tried to adhere to those principles all my life. In essence, they are the same as in the Ten Commandments in the Bible. I will never change my convictions.

They forbade me from flying, despite all my protests and arguments. After being once in space, I was desperately keen to go back there. But it didn't happen.

Anyone who has spent any time in space will love it for the rest of their lives. I achieved my childhood dream of the sky.

Russia is still the leader in world space exploration. But its position of leader involves great responsibility - we have no right to lag behind. We can and we must move constantly forward.

If women can be railroad workers in Russia, why can't they fly in space?

I am convinced that the modular structure of the Mir will be the main trend in manned orbital stations development in the next century.

I felt fine after 24 hours and asked the state commission to prolong my stay in space to three days. And I carried out the entire schedule. Could I have done that if I had been half-dead?

To tell her that I joined the parachute club was too hard for me. I didn't want to trouble her; besides, I was not completely sure about the success of my new adventure.

Once you've been in space, you appreciate how small and fragile the Earth is.

A bird cannot fly with one wing only. Human space flight cannot develop any further without the active participation of women.

After being once in space, I was keen to go back there. But it didn't happen.

Cosmonauts can keep their word like men and women - particularly women.

Hey sky, take off your hat, I'm on my way!

I am deeply grieved by the loss of the crew of Columbia. I express my sincere condolences to the families and friends of the astronauts. I believe that their names will remain as the bright sparkling stars in the universe and will light the way for those who will follow them on the difficult roads of space exploration.

I love Star City - it is my home.

I see Vostok-6 quite often in the centre for cosmonaut training. And every time I pass it by, I stroke it and say, 'My lovely one, my best and most beautiful friend, my best and most beautiful man.'

I think Star City should have Unesco World Heritage status. It will need to be adapted a little bit and made more glamorous than it looks now, but it should definitely be protected for the future.

I would enjoy flying to Mars. This was the dream of the first cosmonauts. I wish I could realize it! I am ready to fly without coming back.

It doesn't matter what country or what political system you are from. Space brings you together.

More women should actively participate in space flight. There are many well educated women working in the space industry; they are very good candidates.

Of course, it's a dream to go to Mars. I want to find out whether there was life there or not. And if there was, then why did it die out? What sort of catastrophe happened?

On Earth, men and women are taking the same risks. Why shouldn't we be taking the same risks in space?

One cannot deny the great role women have played in the world community. My flight was yet another impetus to continue this female contribution.

The missing toothbrush was nothing compared with the fact that the spacecraft was orientated to ascend, not descend. I would have gone up and up instead of going back down to the ground.

There was a lake beneath me, but the big, heavy parachute which had to be opened two miles above the ground couldn't be steered. My first thought was, 'Lord, they send just one woman into space, and she has to end up in the water.'

You don't think about the danger. The spaceship becomes your home.

The accepted versions of the Bible are all substantially correct.

As I have studied the Bible and the Book of Mormon, I have come to know through the power of the Spirit of God, that these books contain the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I have continued systematically to study the Book of Mormon and Bible to understand even more deeply what God expects of me and my family while on this earth.

There are any number of people who profess to be good Christian people who are willing to believe all kinds of things on suspicion. Now that is not the way the Bible directs for Christian people to do.

Many of us view the bible and other religious teachings as mythology.

It is to be deeply regretted that the clergymen would oppose an effort to teach the people the Bible truths; nevertheless, we find much opposition everywhere, and many clergymen will attempt to prevent the people from reading what is here written.

If the president is going to use so much language of theology and the Bible, then let's use that language for a serious discussion about the war in Iraq. And that was never done.

So after the Lewinsky scandal, everything changed, and we moved from using the Bible to address the moral issues of our time, which were social, to moral issues of our time that were very personal. I have continued that relationship up until the present.

There are matters in the Bible, said to be done by the express commandment of God, that are shocking to humanity and to every idea we have of moral justice.

When I commit, I commit with my whole heart, my whole being. I know the Bible like the back of my hand.

The English Bible - a book which, if everything else in our language should perish, would alone suffice to show the whole extent of its beauty and power.

I've read the last page of the Bible. It's all going to turn out all right.

Intense study of the Bible will keep any writer from being vulgar, in point of style.

Accordingly the Northern races of Europe found their inspiration in the Bible; and the enthusiasm for it has not yet quite faded away.

No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means.

The Bible is proved to be a revelation from God, by the reasonableness and holiness of its precepts; all its commands, exhortations, and promises having the most direct tendency to make men wise, holy, and happy in themselves, and useful to one another.

Political freedom is a political reading of the Bible.

The greatest block today in the way of woman's emancipation is the church, the canon law, the Bible and the priesthood.

I'm a Catholic, but I used to love going to Vacation Bible School with my fundamentalist friends.

I consider myself a non-denominational Christian. I grew up in a Bible church and still hold those beliefs very close to me.

Yes, I think that when the Bible refers to a horse or a horseman, that's exactly what it means.

Great dislike to the Bible was shown by those who conversed with me about it, and several have remarked to me, at different times, that if it were not for that book, Catholics would never be led to renounce their own faith.
