• "Don't Panic !" ( Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy )
 
• "There is an art, or rather, a knack to flying.

• "Eureka !"

• "I've read that I flew up the hills and mountains of France. But you don't fly up a hill.
  You struggle slowly and painfully up a hill, and maybe, if you work very hard,
  you get to the top ahead of everybody else."
  

• At times, you may end up far away from home. You may not be sure of where you belong anymore. But home is always there. Because home is not a place. It's wherever your passion takes you. As you continue on your path...you will lose some friends and gain new ones. The process is painful, but often necessary. They will change, and you will change because life is change. From time to time...they must find their own way, and that way may not be yours. Enjoy them for what they are. And remember them for what they were."

• "I really do believe that sooner or later, no matter what happens...things do work out. Oh, we have hard times. We suffer. We lose loved ones. The road is never easy. It was never meant to be easy. But in the long run...if you stay true to what you believe, things do work out. Always be willing to fight for what you believe in. It doesn't matter if 1000 people agree with you or one person agrees with you. It doesn't matter if you stand completely alone. Fight for what you believe in."

• "You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it come true. You may have to work for it, however." ( Illusions )

• "Seize the moment. Remember all those women on the Titanic who waved off the dessert cart."

• "This heart still believes
  
That love and mercy still exist
While all the hatreds rage
and so many say
That love is all but pointless
In madness such as this.
It's like trying to stop a fire
With the moisture from a kiss.
And I hear them saying
You'll never change things,
But it's not the world
That I'm trying to change.
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me."
--"The Change" (Fresh Horses)
 
 
• "Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
Till what we've put off till tomorrow
Has now become today.

And dare to dance the tide."

better than sleep will get you through times of few friends."

For a little while."

• "You don't count the heartache
  
You don't count the sacrifice
All that counts is what you feel inside.
It doesn't really matter what is gained
Or what is lost,
When it comes to love,
You don't count the cost."
--"You Don't Count the Cost" (Billy Dean)

• "Dream as if you'll live forever
  
Live as if you'll die tomorrow."

• "All for one, one for all ..." (The Three Musketeers)

Marianne Wright Edelman

• "I was taught that the world had a lot of problems ;
  
that I could struggle and change them ;
that intellectual and material gifts brought the privilege
and responsibility of sharing with others less fortunate ;
and that service is the rent each of us pays for living --
the very purpose of life and not something you do
in your spare time or after you have reached your personal goals."

• "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

• "It would be possible to describe everything scientifically,

• "Where words fail, music speaks."

• " A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion,
  
butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts,
build a well, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate,
act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure,
program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.
Specialization is for insects. "


• "One can lead a child to knowledge but one CANNOT make him think."

• "Bicycling is the nearest approximation I know to the flight of birds. 
  The airplane simply carries a man on its back like an obedient Pegasus; it gives him no wings of his own."
  

• "It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best,
  since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. 
  Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you,
  and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle."

• "The bicycle riders drank much wine, and were burned and browned by the sun. They did not take the race seriously except among themselves."
  

• The gloaming is the twilight of the day. It's the period between darkness and light. It's a time of magic. It's the time between the fear of ensuing darkenss and the excitement of the stepping into the unknown; the ending of the days long work and entering into a magical world that lies on the edge of mundane. The gloaming symbolizes intertwining of the dark and light that creates the beauty of story.

And none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish."

• "But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal?

But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal?
And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain.
Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?
We choose to go to the moon.
We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things,
not because they are easy, but because they are hard,
because that goal will serve to organize and measure
the best of our energies and skills,
because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept,
one we are unwilling to postpone,
and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."

exploding like spiders across the stars
and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop
and everybody goes 'Awww!'" (On The Road)

• Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
  
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of, wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
("High Flight")

• "I have been asked what I mean by my word of honor.

I will tell you. Place me behind prison walls --
walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far
into the ground - there is the possibility that in some way

and draw a chalk line around me and have me give
my word of honor never to cross it.
Can I get out of the circle? No. Never! I'd die first!"

Of the world forever, it seems."

• "Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
  
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Journeys to plan
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life
Of a woman or a man?
In truths that she learned
Or in times that he cried
In bridges he burned
Or the way that she died
It's time now - to sing out
Tho' the story never ends
Let's celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friends"

in its place is something that you have left behind...
let it be something good."
