Watch what you choose to do. For instance, someone might want you to smoke. Never forget that I told you -- don't do it. Say no. That can of beer that somebody wants you to try, don't do it. Don't you ever do it. That drug that someone might want you to use, don't touch it. Stay away from it. It can destroy you.

Ese mismo aÃ±o, un grupo de astrÃ³nomos encabezado por Cornell H. Mayer recibiÃ³ ondas deradio procedentes de Venus y quedÃ³ atÃ³nito al ver que la intensidad de esas ondas equivalÃa a la quecabÃa esperar de un objeto mucho mÃ¡s caliente de lo que se creÃa que era Venus. De ser eso cierto, nopodrÃa haber ocÃ©ano planetario en Venus; de hecho, no podÃa haber agua lÃquida de ninguna clase (y asÃse echÃ³ a perder mi pobre novela, que sÃ³lo hacÃa dos aÃ±os que habÃa sido publicada).

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the darkness at Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Back then people closed their eyes and listened to music. Today there's a lot of images that go with the music. A lot of music is crap and it's all commercial and the images are all trying to sell the record.

If you go from a structure where you have the support and that partner and that construction of a family and that's broken apart, I think that's probably a lot harder than always being a single mom and having the father being a support in another area.
