You can go up in the air and everything is gone. You know, you don't think about baseball. You don't think about anything. It's just something that takes you away from everyday life. I love being in a plane and looking down to see traffic on the freeway.

We have an incapacity of proof, insurmountable by all dogmatism. We have an idea of truth, invincible to all skepticism.

Blaise Pascal

One ungrateful man does an injury to all who stand in need of aid.

Publilius Syrus

America is a Nation with a mission - and that mission comes from our most basic beliefs. We have no desire to dominate, no ambitions of empire. Our aim is a democratic peace - a peace founded upon the dignity and rights of every man and woman.

George W. Bush

It takes leadership to improve safety. And I started off the movement in my time, but the person who has done more over the past 20 to 30 years and who has led it is Professor Sid Watkins.

Jackie Stewart

Great souls endure in silence.

Friedrich von Schiller

If women want any rights more than they's got, why don't they just take them, and not be talking about it.

Sojourner Truth

There is a room in the Department of Mysteries, that is kept locked at all times. It contains a force that is at once more wonderful and more terrible than death, than human intelligence, than forces of nature. It is also, perhaps, the most mysterious of the many subjects for study that reside there. It is the power held within that room that you possess in such quantities and which Voldemort has not at all. That power took you to save Sirius tonight. That power also saved you from possession by Voldemort, because he could not bear to reside in a body so full of the force he detests. In the end, it mattered not that you could not close your mind. It was your heart that saved you.

J.K. Rowling

Creativity is always a leap of faith. You're faced with a blank page, blank easel, or an empty stage.

Julia Cameron

Bankruptcy is a sacred state, a condition beyond conditions, as theologians might say, and attempts to investigate it are necessarily obscene, like spiritualism. One knows only that he has passed into it and lives beyond us, in a condition not ours.

John Updike

If it were possible to make an accurate calculation of the evils which police regulations occasion, and of those which they prevent, the number of the former would, in all cases, exceed that of the latter.

Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt

A society's competitive advantage will come not from how well its schools teach the multiplication and periodic tables, but from how well they stimulate imagination and creativity.

Albert Einstein

I am a voyager - and the voyage cannot mean that I stay at home.

Emmanuelle Beart
