Treading the soil of the moon, palpating its pebbles, tasting the panic and splendor of the event, feeling in the pit of one's stomach the separation from terra... these form the most romantic sensation an explorer has ever known... this is the only thing I can say about the matter.

Assim, para recapitular a nossa discussão do valor da filosofia: a filosofia é de estudar não por causa de quaisquer respostas definitivas ? s suas questões, dado que nenhumas respostas definitivas podem, em regra, ser conhecidas como verdadeiras, mas antes por causa das próprias questões; porque estas questões alargam a nossa concepção do que é possível, enriquecem a nossa imaginação intelectual e diminuem a confiança dogmática que fecham a mente contra a especulação; mas acima de tudo porque, através da grandeza do universo que a filosofia contempla, a mente também se torna grandiosa, e torna-se capaz dessa união com o universo que constitui o seu bem maior.

Bertrand Russell

Making movies was more a reaction to not being chosen for sports. Other kids were out there playing at whatever I was off making something blow up and filming it, or making a mould of my sister's head using alginating plaster.

Jon Bon Jovi

The sense of paralysis proceeds not so much out of the mammoth size of the problem but out of the puniness of the purpose.

Norman Cousins

Benjamin Disraeli

The secret of man's success resides in his insight into the mood's of people, and his tact in dealing with them.
