| Anais Nin | Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country. | 101 |
| John Steinbeck | Many a trip continues long after movement in time and space have ceased.  | 101 |
| Johnny Cash | You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space. | 101 |
| Alan Shepard | They say any landing you can walk away from is a good one. | 101 |
| Buzz Aldrin | By refocusing our space program on Mars for America's future, we can restore the sense of wonder and adventure in space exploration that we knew in the summer of 1969. We won the moon race; now it's time for us to live and work on Mars, first on its moons and then on its surface. | 101 |
| Erwin Schrodinger | What we observe as material bodies and forces are nothing but shapes and variations in the structure of space. | 101 |
| Evan Spiegel | When we're in that kind of childish space, we're more genuine and feel more comfortable with our friends. | 101 |
| Harold Prince | I always liked the visuals to be choice and at the same time minimalist. And, I love black boxes. After all, that's what theatre is, it's an empty space, and it's both limited and unlimited because the space is the space, but what you can do with people's imaginations is really endless. | 101 |
| Heather Brooke | The way the Establishment deals with people like me is to ignore them. When you become unignorable, they will try to smear you, and that's what I feared for a long time. Now I have somehow vaulted into this space where it's difficult for someone to smear me because it would look as though they were being vindictive and spiteful. | 101 |
| Ian Rankin | I've always written. At the age of six or seven, I would get sheets of A4 paper and fold them in half, cut the edges to make a little eight-page booklet, break it up into squares and put in little stick men with little speech bubbles, and I'd have a spy story, a space story and a football story. | 101 |
| Iggy Pop | Something I like to do a lot is just sit by water when there's a current and just stare into the water. I don't fish, I don't hunt, I don't scuba, I don't spear, don't boat, don't play basketball or football - I excel at staring into space. I'm really good at that. | 101 |
| John Updike | What art offers is space - a certain breathing room for the spirit. | 101 |
| Karen O | For me, California is all about rest, relaxation, space. | 101 |
| Lawrence M. Krauss | Empty space is a boiling, bubbling brew of virtual particles that pop in and out of existence in a time scale so short that you can't even measure them. | 101 |
| Lisa Vanderpump | In Beverly Hills, it's very spoiled in terms of the quality of life. I think the climate and the space and the quality of life in Beverly Hills is exceptional. | 101 |
| Nate Berkus | In a small space, you want to keep the bedding as simple as possible so it looks clean, calm and collected. | 101 |
| Neil Armstrong | That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind. | 101 |
| Neil Postman | 'Cyberspace' is a metaphorical idea which is supposed to be the space where your consciousness is located when you're using computer technology on the Internet, for example, and I'm not entirely sure it's such a useful term, but I think that's what most people mean by it. | 101 |
| Oscar De La Hoya | There is always space for improvement, no matter how long you've been in the business. | 101 |
| Philip Johnson | Architecture is basically the design of interiors, the art of organizing interior space. | 101 |
| Seth Shostak | It bears mentioning that the Milky Way is only one of 150 billion galaxies visible to our telescopes - and each of these will have its own complement of planets. | 101 |
| Walter Reisch | Don't you see what's at stake here? The ultimate aim of all science to penetrate the unknown. Do you realize we know less about the earth we live on than about the stars and the galaxies of outer space? The greatest mystery is right here, right under our feet. | 101 |
| Wilbur Wright | The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who... looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space... on the infinite highway of the air. | 101 |
| Xavi | I spend the entire 90 minutes looking for space on the pitch. I'm always between the opposition's two holding midfielders and thinking, 'The defence is here, so I get the ball and I go there to where the space is.' | 101 |
| Xavier Dolan | Cinema is a thankless industry where sometimes to appear on the cinematic scenery is a thing for late bloomers and people who are very patient. The places are accounted, and the space is often unwelcoming. Money is rare, and independent voices are muted by the almost complete absence of risk takers. | 101 |
| Yuri Gagarin | I could have gone on flying through space forever. | 101 |
| Anna Freud | We are aware only of the empty space in the forest, which only yesterday was filled with trees. | 101 |
| Antony Gormley | I would say that the whole way that I have approached the body is as a space, not a thing - not an object to be improved, idealised or whatever, but simply to be dwelt in. | 101 |
| Bill Frist | Space offers extraordinary potential for commerce and adventure, for new innovations and new tests of will. As Americans, we can't help but reach for the stars. It's our nature. It's our destiny. | 101 |
| Diana Cooper | It helped me in the air to keep my small mind contained in earthly human limits, not lost in vertiginous space and elements unknown. | 101 |
| Ellen Stofan | One of the big things about space exploration is that it is as expensive as it is complicated, and you need all the countries of the world to help if you want to accomplish big goals. | 101 |
| Fred Hoyle | Space isn't remote at all. It's only an hour's drive away if your car could go straight upwards. | 101 |
| Gary Cole | If someone comes up to me, 90 percent of the time it's about Office Space. | 101 |
| Gwynne Shotwell | You can't be on the cusp of innovation and at the forefront of technology if you're wearing blinders. If you don't have an exploration program where you're exploring your world here on Earth, underwater, and in space, then you're wearing blinders and handicapping yourself. | 101 |
| Jack Dangermond | We aren't into the consumer space because that space is largely dominated by search and advertising, and it has a consumer face to it. | 101 |
| Kalpana Chawla | When you look at the stars and the galaxy, you feel that you are not just from any particular piece of land, but from the solar system. | 101 |
| Konstantin Tsiolkovsky | The Earth is the cradle of humanity, but mankind cannot stay in the cradle forever. | 101 |
| Paolo Bacigalupi | When we talk about dystopias, especially in young adult fiction, a lot of them are essentially science fictional futures. They aren't necessarily tied to the traditional concept of dystopia. And so in that space, my impression is that kids love reading about weird, wild, adventurous places, and dystopia fits that bill. | 101 |
| Patrick Geddes | But a city is more than a place in space, it is a drama in time. | 101 |
| Robert Wilson | My work has always dealt with a kind of space that allows one to daydream. | 101 |
| Steve Jones | I live in Beverly Hills and I'm proud of it. The only things I miss are pie and mash shops and football games. I've lived in America longer than I lived in England. When I first got here, it just felt right to me. I like the open space, and the weather's great. | 101 |
| Tony Judt | We have responsibilities for others, not just across space but across time. We have responsibilities to people who came before us. They left us a world of institutions, ideas or possibilities for which we, in turn, owe them something. One of the things we owe them is not to squander them. | 101 |
| William Sadler | People quote lines to me all the time. I'm always surprised - everybody has a favorite movie, and they're always different. I'm always shocked. People stop me on the street and throw lines at me from 'Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight' and 'Deep Space Nine.' 'Shawshank' happens a lot because they play it so much on TV. | 101 |
| Andrew O'Hagan | A theatre is not a blank page for editorial, it is not a soapbox or a Tannoy system: it is a conscience that wakes with what is happening in the space, and wakes further still in response to what people are making of it. | 101 |
| Gary Kemp | We never had books at home, but my dad, seeing how keen I was to read, took me to Islington Library when I was about eight and we pulled out two - a Biggles and a science fiction novel. I never got the ace fighter pilot but fell in love with all things to do with the future and space. Isaac Asimov soon became my guiding star. | 101 |
| Joel Kinnaman | In Sweden, there's a lot of talk of gender equality. That discussion isn't as prevalent in the U.S. I feel that successful American women are tougher than Swedish women - they create their space. | 101 |
| Jon Krakauer | Antarctica has this mythic weight. It resides in the collective unconscious of so many people, and it makes this huge impact, just like outer space. It's like going to the moon. | 101 |
| Kevin A. Ford | Space station is, it really is one of the more, if not the most, impressive technological achievement of the modern day, not only in what we've accomplished engineering-wise but what we've accomplished on this international scale, because anybody will tell you that half the challenge is making it all work. | 101 |
| Kip Thorne | A black hole really is an object with very rich structure, just like Earth has a rich structure of mountains, valleys, oceans, and so forth. Its warped space whirls around the central singularity like air in a tornado. | 101 |
| Linda M. Godwin | I grew up watching a lot of the coverage of the early U.S. space program, all the way back starting with Mercury and then through Gemini and Apollo and of course going to the moon as the main part of the Apollo program. | 101 |
| Mike Mills | I would hate to think I'm promoting sadness as an aesthetic. But I grew up in not just a family but a town and a culture where sadness is something you're taught to feel shame about. You end up chronically desiring what can be a very sentimental idea of love and connection. A lot of my work has been about trying to make a space for sadness. | 101 |
| Steven Holl | For me, the excitement in architecture revolves around the idea and the phenomenon of the experience of that idea. Residences offer almost immediate gratification. You can shape space, light, and materials to a degree that you sometimes can't in larger projects. | 101 |
| Aaron Patzer | I actually don't invest in anything that is social, mobile, deals or ad networks simply because those are areas where there are so many players and so many other smart people in the space, I feel like I don't have a competitive advantage. So I tend to go after things that are e-commerce, like healthcare. | 101 |
| Ben Parr | Point-to-point transit via low orbit could dramatically speed up international flights, connecting the world even further. And safe, consistent space travel opens up the possibility of commercial space stations, trips to the moon and exploration beyond. | 101 |
| Charlie Hunter | And then as we played more and more as a trio, it became more and more of a situation where we realized we really knew how to use the fourth member of the group - that space. The thing about the trio is that it's the biggest sound you can have with the smallest unit. | 101 |
| Drew Houston | If you're going to go to the moon, you don't shoot the rocket right at the moon. You have to go at it obliquely. | 101 |
| Leroy Chiao | I'm Chinese-American, of course, and so it's very interesting to see China actually launch their own astronauts, becoming the third nation, following the United States and Russia, to do so. | 101 |
| Luke Nosek | We believe SpaceX will become the world leader in space transport, and we want our investors to be part of that future. | 101 |
| Meredith Monk | I think about that 'empty' space a lot. That emptiness is what allows for something to actually evolve in a natural way. I've had to learn that over the years - because one of the traps of being an artist is to always want to be creating, always wanting to produce. | 101 |
| Michelangelo Antonioni | You know what I would like to do: make a film with actors standing in empty space so that the spectator would have to imagine the background of the characters. | 101 |
| Peter Cullen | I'm always involved with the Aerospace Program and NASA and Goddard Space Flight Center. And if kids feel so inclined, they can log onto NASA and the Optimus Prime Spinoff Award, which we present every year to some of the brilliant young minds that are taking up into the academics of space, science, technology, math. | 101 |
| Randy Forbes | Space exploration is important research to our economic and national defense, and America's space program is a symbol of our success as a scientifically and technologically advanced nation. | 101 |
| Rob Bishop | Space exploration and experimentation are critically valuable to our nation. I know of no better way to honor those seven who sacrificed their lives than to recommit ourselves to defend and enhance America's important strategies in space. | 101 |
| Rod Serling | There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition. | 101 |
| Roger B. Chaffee | The world itself looks cleaner and so much more beautiful. Maybe we can make it that way - the way God intended it to be - by giving everyone, eventually, that new perspective from out in space. | 101 |
| Tomas Berdych | Whoever has played tennis knows the court is pretty big and you always have space to put the ball in. | 101 |
| Tony Leung Chiu-Wai | I always believe that Kar-Wai has a complete script: he just doesn't show it to us. He wants us to experience and explore the character. He gives you a lot of space, and you know every time will be a very long journey. You just live in the character, and that's very different from other directors. | 101 |
| Alastair Reynolds | I think I set myself on a course to become a scientist around about the time that Carl Sagan's 'Cosmos' series was on television, and there really was no going back for me at that point, and then I went on to study space science and then get my Ph.D., then go aboard and work in the European Space Agency. | 101 |
| Andrea Hirata | The decision to write full-time meant I couldn't afford to buy a house. A friend kindly offered me the use of his apartment in a thirty-six-story building full of newlywed couples in the southern area of Jakarta. I didn't like my working space at first, but the scenery and everything going on outside have worked their magic on me. | 101 |
| Chris Cooper | You look at a herd of cattle and well, they all look the same... but they know. They all have an individual personality, and those personalities change from day to day. They can have their grumpy days and their happy days and their serene days. But it's unpredictable. You can't be off in outer space when you're dealing with animals. | 101 |
| Christopher Guest | In real life, people fumble their words. They repeat themselves and stare blankly off into space and don't listen properly to what other people are saying. I find that kind of speech fascinating but screenwriters never write dialogue like that because it doesn't look good on the page. | 101 |
| David Dobkin | Laughter is binary: It either happens or it doesn't. As each joke arrives in the course of a film, the cavernous space of the theater is either filled with joy and laughter or with the quiet of cringing embarrassment. Every time you step to the plate to make a joke, you're going to experience one or the other. | 101 |
| Dimitar Sasselov | The question we ask is - if there is life on other planets, should we expect it to be based on the same molecules, i.e. be universal - or should we expect it to depend on the local conditions, i.e. on the planet's geochemistry. So to find out, we try experiments on biomolecules, starting with such geochemistry conditions. | 101 |
| Erik Hersman | If you put enough smart people together in one space, good things happen. | 101 |
| James J. Gibson | Psychology is still trying to explain the perception of the position of an object in space, along with its shape, size, and so on, and to understand the sensations of color. | 101 |
| John Quelch | Ease of navigation is important in both physical and virtual space. | 101 |
| Simon Conway Morris | It is difficult to imagine evolution in alien planets operating in any manner other than Darwinian. | 101 |
| Taryn Simon | I'm interested in the murky areas where there are no clear answers - or sometimes multiple answers. It's here that I try to imagine patterns or codes to make sense of the unknowns that keep us up at night. I'm also interested in the invisible space between people in communication; the space guided by translation and misinterpretation. | 101 |
| Thelma Golden | The privilege I've had as a curator is not just the discovery of new works... but what I've discovered about myself and what I can offer in the space of an exhibition - to talk about beauty, to talk about power, to talk about ourselves, and to talk and speak to each other. | 101 |
| Thomas Marshburn | We have to be plumbers, electricians, construction engineers, or workers, on the space station, but at the same time running a laboratory, being scientists, being the best laboratory assistants we can be. It's all in a bundle; it's very exciting, it's a lot of fun. | 101 |
| Angela Cartwright | Lost in Space brings back a lot of memories for people, and I think that any time you're involved in something that has such a long-lasting appeal, you feel very blessed by that. | 101 |
| Annabella Sciorra | I think space exploration is very important. I think there is very intelligent life on Mars. I believe that Martians are spying on us from the bottom of the ocean. | 101 |
| Ariel Rechtshaid | The best bands kept making records and had this evolution, where by the end, by their commercial phase or sellout phase, the records are from outer space. | 101 |
| Dana Schutz | I often use hypothetical situations to generate information and imagery for paintings and to create a fictional space where a subject can be put into play. | 101 |
| James Blake | We live with incessant music, all the time. It's like some weird musical purgatory, there is absolutely no rest for the ears, no space to absorb and reflect. | 101 |
| Jefferson Mays | It's such a rare and rewarding thing to be in control of space and time for two hours a night, to go through a journey and take the audience along. There's nothing quite like it. | 101 |
| Marc Garneau | The space industry is developing and delivering benefits that tie into our immediate needs and priorities here on Earth-for example, medical and materials research, and satellite communications. | 101 |
| Ronald D. Moore | I felt that 'Deep Space' was the way to do a spin off series of an existing franchise where you really are doing a very different show. It's a different format. It's a different feeling. | 101 |
| Alan G. Poindexter | I'm really hopeful about the future of space exploration and human spaceflight. Civilization as we know it has been defined by exploration. You know, we need to go off and find out what's around the next corner and what's just beyond what we already know. It's part of our being; it's part of our moral fiber to go off and explore. | 101 |
| David M. Brown | The views of the Earth are really beautiful. If you've ever seen a space IMAX movie, that's really what it looks like. I wish I'd had more time just to sit and look out the window with a map, but our science program kept us very busy in the lab most of the time. | 101 |
| Donald A. Wollheim | Once solved, the severe handicaps imposed on space exploration by the weight and chemical limitations of rockets would no longer apply. The whole timetable of our conquest of the planets in our solar system would be tremendously speeded up, from hot Mercury all the way out to frigid Pluto. | 101 |
| John Dyer | The most amazing thing to me about the sea is the tide. A harbour like St. Ives is totally transformed in a very short space of time by the arrival or departure of the sea. | 101 |
| Michael J. Massimino | The reason we have the stars twinkle at night is because the light is being kind of blurred by the atmosphere around the Earth. That is why the Hubble Space Telescope is so good, because it is above the atmosphere. So it is kind of like looking at the sun from the bottom of a swimming pool, versus looking at the sun above the swimming pool. | 101 |
| Ronald Graham | Juggling is sometimes called the art of controlling patterns, controlling patterns in time and space. | 101 |
| Alice Smith | I like to focus on making the music sound simple and true, and very lush and full. I think music should take you to somewhere else where you have the space to contemplate or exercise your imagination. All the while you should be feeling real good, like when you have a delicious and decadent meal, macaroni and cheese or foie gras. | 101 |
| Clarence Stein | A small house must depend on its grouping with other houses for its beauty, and for the preservation of light air and the maximum of surrounding open space. | 101 |
| David Wilcock | Space, time, matter, energy and biological life may be the result of a Source Field that is conscious and alive in its own unique way - on a scale far too vast for the finite mind to fathom. | 101 |
| DeWitt Clinton | Pleasure is a shadow, wealth is vanity, and power a pageant; but knowledge is ecstatic in enjoyment, perennial in frame, unlimited in space and indefinite in duration. | 101 |
| Jean M. Auel | Science Fiction is not just about the future of space ships travelling to other planets, it is fiction based on science and I am using science as my basis for my fiction, but it's the science of prehistory - palaeontology and archaeology - rather than astronomy or physics. | 101 |
| Abdullah Ibrahim | When time and space and change converge, we find place. We arrive in Place when we resolve things. Place is peace of mind and understanding. Place is knowledge of self. Place is resolution. | 101 |
| Andrew J. Feustel | I grew up in Lake Orion, Mich. What was best about Lake Orion where, where we grew up was it was a suburb of Detroit but had a lot of open space around. | 101 |
| Audie Murphy | I'm glad that it didn't take as long to get Shepard off the ground as it's taken this series. I'd begun to think the Congo would be ahead of us in the space race before Whispering Smith ever got on the air. | 101 |
| John de Mol, Jr. | When we started with 'Big Brother' and created the reality genre, no one could ever foresee that there was so much space in the genre that it could deliver so many formats. There will be periods where there is not enough new stuff to keep the genre alive. But it will never die. | 101 |
| James Jeans | Put three grains of sand inside a vast cathedral, and the cathedral will be more closely packed with sand than space is with stars. | 101 |
| Joe Lo Truglio | I grew up down in Florida, and in the Keys, there's this place called Sea Camp which was not unlike Space Camp, except you explored the sea. And so that kind of whetted my appetite for that. But then I ended up swimming in a lagoon full of Cassiopeia jellyfish, and that quickly quashed that desire to be a marine biologist. | 101 |
| Julie Mehretu | That's what I'm interested in: the space in between, the moment of imagining what is possible and yet not knowing what that is. | 101 |
| James Irwin | The Earth reminded us of a Christmas tree ornament hanging in the blackness of space. As we got farther and farther away it diminished in size. Finally it shrank to the size of a marble, the most beautiful marble you can imagine. | 101 |
| Nikola Tesla | Modern science says: 'The sun is the past, the earth is the present, the moon is the future.' From an incandescent mass we have originated, and into a frozen mass we shall turn. Merciless is the law of nature, and rapidly and irresistibly we are drawn to our doom. | 102 |
| Adlai E. Stevenson | We travel together, passengers on a little spaceship, dependent on its vulnerable reserves of air and soil, all committed, for our safety, to its security and peace. Preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work and the love we give our fragile craft. | 102 |
| Alan Shepard | It's a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one's safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract. | 102 |
| Anaxagoras | Everything has a natural explanation. The moon is not a god, but a great rock, and the sun a hot rock. | 102 |
| Ang Lee | I think the American West really attracts me because it's romantic. The desert, the empty space, the drama. | 102 |
| Barbara Walters | Before we had airplanes and astronauts, we really thought that there was an actual place beyond the clouds, somewhere over the rainbow. There was an actual place, and we could go above the clouds and find it there. | 102 |
| Ben Okri | Our time here is magic! It's the only space you have to realize whatever it is that is beautiful, whatever is true, whatever is great, whatever is potential, whatever is rare, whatever is unique, in. It's the only space. | 102 |
| Bjarke Ingels | I believe that architecture, as anything else in life, is evolutionary. Ideas evolve; they don't come from outer space and crash into the drawing board. | 102 |
| Cat Stevens | When many astronauts go to space, they see the insignificant size of the earth and vastness of space, and they become very religious, because they have seen the Signs of Allah. | 102 |
| Chris Hadfield | The world, when you look at it, it just can't be random. I mean, it's so different than the vast emptiness that is everything else, and even all the other planets we've seen, at least in our solar system, none of them even remotely resemble the precious life-giving nature of our own planet. | 102 |
| Craig Venter | Since my own genome was sequenced, my software has been broadcast into space in the form of electromagnetic waves, carrying my genetic information far beyond Earth. Whether there is any creature out there capable of making sense of the instructions in my genome, well, that's another question. | 102 |
| Donna Karan | I love building spaces: architecture, furniture, all of it, probably more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It's about space and form and it's something you can share with other people. | 102 |
| E. B. White | I see nothing in space as promising as the view from a Ferris wheel. | 102 |
| Edwin Powell Hubble | We find them smaller and fainter, in constantly increasing numbers, and we know that we are reaching into space, farther and farther, until, with the faintest nebulae that can be detected with the greatest telescopes, we arrive at the frontier of the known universe. | 102 |
| Hilaire Belloc | When friendship disappears then there is a space left open to that awful loneliness of the outside world which is like the cold space between the planets. It is an air in which men perish utterly. | 102 |
| Iris Chang | I don't mind solitude. I love talking to other people, but I do need my space. | 102 |
| Jules Verne | Put two ships in the open sea, without wind or tide, and, at last, they will come together. Throw two planets into space, and they will fall one on the other. Place two enemies in the midst of a crowd, and they will inevitably meet; it is a fatality, a question of time; that is all. | 102 |
| Kareem Abdul-Jabbar | Islam is about finding your own space. | 102 |
| Les Dawson | In awe, I watched the waxing moon ride across the zenith of the heavens like an ambered chariot towards the ebony void of infinite space wherein the tethered belts of Jupiter and Mars hang, for ever festooned in their orbital majesty. And as I looked at all this I thought... I must put a roof on this toilet. | 102 |
| Neil MacGregor | Google the name Prometheus, and see how often it has been given to innovations in many different fields, notably science, medicine and space exploration. The fire he stole can be seen, too, as the spark generating all artistic creativity. | 102 |
| Neil Postman | The problem in the 19th century with information was that we lived in a culture of information scarcity, and so humanity addressed that problem beginning with photography and telegraphy and the - in the 1840s. We tried to solve the problem of overcoming the limitations of space, time, and form. | 102 |
| Philip Johnson | Architecture is the art of how to waste space. | 102 |
| Sammy Davis, Jr. | I had more clothes than I had closets, more cars than garage space, but no money. | 102 |
| Scott Kelly | Sleeping here is harder here in space than on a bed because the sleep position here is the same position throughout the day. You don't ever get that sense of gratifying relaxation here that you do on Earth after a long day at work. | 102 |
| Seth MacFarlane | Evolution doesn't care whether you believe in it or not, no more than gravity does. I want to rekindle excitement over what we've achieved as a species with the space program. We can't afford to regress back to the days of superstition. | 102 |
| Tom Hanks | You cannot look up at the night sky on the Planet Earth and not wonder what it's like to be up there amongst the stars. And I always look up at the moon and see it as the single most romantic place within the cosmos. | 102 |
| Tommy Lee | One day I would love to do rock a gig on the moon - how rad would that be? Isn't Richard Branson flying planes to outer space? Motley Crue could be the first band to play on the moon. | 102 |
| Umberto Eco | Our life is full of empty space. | 102 |
| Vanna Bonta | Space is as infinite as we can imagine, and expanding this perspective is what adjusts humankind focus on conquering our true enemies, the formidable foes: ignorance and limitation. | 102 |
| Wole Soyinka | One has a responsibility to clean up one's space and make it livable as far as one's own resources go. That includes not only material resources, but psychological resources: the commitment of time and a portion of your mind to something when you'd rather be doing something else. | 102 |
| Yuri Gagarin | I see Earth! It is so beautiful! | 102 |
| Ellen Page | When we're growing up there are all sorts of people telling us what to do when really what we need is space to work out who to be. | 102 |
| Elsa Peretti | I am jewelry and objects together. This is the Elsa Peretti name to me. It is a very good balance for me to try and create with the person in mind or with the space in mind - to imagine a bowl of fruit or something for water. It is a little bit yin and yang. | 102 |
| Hari Kondabolu | I like playing with that space between laughter and discomfort where your discomfort can also make you laugh, and you're confused about the mixed feelings. That's challenging, and I think that's what makes for some of the best art. | 102 |
| Helen Oyeyemi | I tend to prioritize emotional realism above the known laws of time and space, and when you do that, it's inevitable that strange things happen. Which can be quite enjoyable, I think. | 102 |
| Henry Spencer | Not until the space shuttle started flying did NASA concede that some astronauts didn't have to be fast-jet pilots. And at that point, sure enough, women started becoming astronauts. | 102 |
| Jack Dangermond | Once you digitize data, you can actually analyze patterns and relationships in geographic space - relationships between certain health patterns and air or water pollution, between plants and climate, soils, landscape. | 102 |
| Jim Jarmusch | I think it comes from really liking literary forms. Poetry is very beautiful, but the space on the page can be as affecting as where the text is. Like when Miles Davis doesn't play, it has a poignancy to it. | 102 |
| Max de Pree | We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion. | 102 |
| Nursultan Nazarbayev | In the past, it was only in science fiction novels that you could read about ordinary people being able to go to space... But you laid the foundation for space tourism. | 102 |
| Peter Zumthor | If you look at the Earth without architecture, it's sometimes a little bit unpleasant. So there is this basic human need to do shelter in the broadest sense of the word, whether it's a movie theater or a simple log cabin in the mountains. This is the core of architecture: To provide a space for human beings. | 102 |
| Wendelin Van Draanen | Don't even try to talk to me when I'm watching the moon. That's my moon, baby. | 102 |
| Ace Frehley | When you take a shower in space, you have to press the water onto your body to clean yourself, and then you gotta vacuum it off. | 102 |
| Adam Mansbach | Vinyl is democratic, as surely as the iPod is fascist. Vinyl is representational: It has a face. Two faces, in fact, to represent the dualism of human nature. Vinyl occupies physical space honestly, proud as a fat woman dancing. | 102 |
| Bobby Jones | Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course... the space between your ears. | 102 |
| Glenn Hoddle | I started the 1998 World Cup with Teddy Sheringham up front but always planned for Michael Owen to face Colombia in our final group game because they defended square and a quick striker would be able to exploit the space behind them. | 102 |
| Guglielmo Marconi | Every day sees humanity more victorious in the struggle with space and time. | 102 |
| Honor Harger | We've been surrounded by images of space our whole lives, from the speculative images of science fiction to the inspirational visions of artists to the increasingly beautiful pictures made possible by complex technologies. But whilst we have an overwhelmingly vivid visual understanding of space, we have no sense of what space sounds like. | 102 |
| John Glenn | The most important thing we can do is inspire young minds and to advance the kind of science, math and technology education that will help youngsters take us to the next phase of space travel. | 102 |
| Kip Thorne | Each black hole spins on its axis like the Earth spins. That spin creates two vortexes of twisting space, somewhat like vortexes in a bathtub or a whirlpool. | 102 |
| Larry Niven | The dinosaurs became extinct because they didn't have a space program. | 102 |
| Liu Yang | Thank you for the confidence put in my by the motherland and the people, for giving me this chance to represent China's millions of women by going into space. | 102 |
| Luis Barragan | I think that the ideal space must contain elements of magic, serenity, sorcery and mystery. | 102 |
| Robert Crippen | Having the opportunity to fly the first flight of something like a space shuttle was the ultimate test flight. | 102 |
| Samuel Lover | What is wine? It is the grape present in another form; its essence is there, though the fruit which produced it grew thousands of miles away, and perished years ago. So the object of many a tender thought may be spiritually present, in defiance of space - and fond recollections cherished in defiance of time. | 102 |
| Tsai Ing-wen | Our democratic system, national identity, and international space must be respected. Any forms of suppression will harm the stability of cross-strait relations. | 102 |
| Abu Bakar Bashir | So we want an Islamic state where Islamic law is not just in the books but enforced, and enforced with determination. There is no space and no room for democratic consultation. The Shariah is set and fixed, so why do we need to discuss it anymore? Just implement it! | 102 |
| Ada Yonath | People always talk about the implication and applications of a process, but for me, the goal is purely about knowledge. Knowledge can become practical today, in 20 years, or in 500 years. Ask Newton. He didn't know there would be space research based on his accident with the apple. | 102 |
| Ashley Benson | I don't think I could live with anybody. I had roommates, and it's not for me. I like my space! | 102 |
| Cecil Taylor | Rhythm is the life of space of time danced through. | 102 |
| Chad Harbach | I feel like every time I start up, it's like a truck you have to get into 15th gear, so you very solely crank into that mental space where you feel really immersed in the world of the book and then you can just kind of go. But there's just that few days of frustration to get to that point. | 102 |
| Charles Sturt | Yet, upon the whole, the space I traversed is unlikely to become the haunt of civilized man, or will only become so in isolated spots, as a chain of connection to a more fertile country; if such a country exist to the westward. | 102 |
| Emily Osment | Everyone needs to be able to have their own space in which to be themselves. | 102 |
| Leroy Chiao | One day, people will be able to buy tickets to visit space. | 102 |
| Lusia Strus | I actually would love to live in New York. But I need land; I need space. I'd love to move to a place where I could have a lot of land and a goat. | 102 |
| Michael Heizer | I think size is the most unused quotient in the sculptor's repertoire because it requires lots of commitment and time. To me it's the best tool. With size you get space and atmosphere: atmosphere becomes volume. You stand in the shape, in the zone. | 102 |
| Scott Carpenter | Pioneering in space was something I would willingly give my life for. | 102 |
| Thomas Traherne | You never enjoy the world aright, till the sea itself floweth in your veins, till you are clothed with the heavens and crowned with the stars. | 102 |
| Barney Oliver | The sun and its retinue of planets drift as a group through the vast gulfs of space that separate the stars. | 102 |
| Donald Bren | My two primary areas of focus have been open-space conservation and education, and I expect those to remain my priorities in the future. The Irvine open space and parklands provide serenity and balance to our unique Orange County lifestyle. | 102 |
| Euvin Naidoo | Africa is the second-largest continent, a landmass second from Asia. It also is the second most populated continent, with 900 million people. In fact - coming back to the land mass - Africa is so big that you could fit in the continental United States, China, and the entire Europe into Africa and still have space. | 102 |
| Gerry Anderson | I've always been interested in the idea of space exploration. When I was younger it was just a dream, but the theory of rockets being able to travel through space was very much alive. I found it very exciting. | 102 |
| Jack Kilby | There was a space program before there was integrated circuits. | 102 |
| James J. Gibson | There has been a great gulf in psychological thought between the perception of space and objects on one hand and the perception of meaning on the other. | 102 |
| Patanjali | Knowledge born of the finest discrimination takes us to the farthest shore. It is intuitive, omniscient, and beyond all divisions of time and space. | 102 |
| Adam Riess | It's everywhere, really. It's between the galaxies. It is in this room. We believe that everywhere that you have space, empty space, that you cannot avoid having some of this dark energy. | 102 |
| Antoine Predock | The body moves through space every day, and in architecture in cities that can be orchestrated. Not in a dictatorial fashion, but in a way of creating options, open-ended sort of personal itineraries within a building. And I see that as akin to cinematography or choreography, where episodic movement, episodic moments, occur in dance and film. | 102 |
| John L. Phillips | We're going to be focusing our science on things that will take us farther and longer into space. For many of those experiments, the crew members are human guinea pigs, which is fine; that's part of my job. I don't mind being a human guinea pig. | 102 |
| Leon Foucault | Any person, brought into the presence of this fact, stops for a few moments and remains pensive and silent; and then generally leaves, carrying with him forever a sharper, keener sense of our incessant motion through space. | 102 |
| Mark Consuelos | I'm claustrophobic. I can't go into haunted houses. They have these tight, dark, enclosed space. I freak out. That's my phobia. It gets me out of stuff. Someone asks me to do something and I tell them I can't because I'm claustrophobic. | 102 |
| Matthew Modine | If you take 2001: A Space Odyssey as an example of somebody who creates a new language in film by what he was able to accomplish with art direction, photography, lighting, etc., it is still a gold standard for science fiction. | 102 |
| Chris Adami | Life can be less mysterious than we make it out to be when we try to think about how it would be on other planets. And if we remove the mystery of life, then I think it is a little bit easier for us to think about how we live, and how perhaps we're not as special as we always think we are. | 102 |
| David Bromstad | I just don't think there are any rules to color. You have a small space with no windows? Put lamps in there, make it dramatic, paint the ceiling black. Do something with it. If it's dark, accentuate the darkness. | 102 |
| David Weber | I think it's like that for people who don't remember 1969 first-hand. It's that sense of 'old hat.' Of 'been there, done that.' Space shuttles, space stations, communications satellites, GPS - they're all part of our everyday, taken-for-granted world in 2009, not part of an incredible odyssey. | 102 |
| Michael J. Massimino | I had always been interested in the space program, and I didn't know if I could be an astronaut like I'd dreamt about when I was a little kid - to me it sounded kind of silly, someone grow up to be an astronaut - but, when I was in my 20s, I thought maybe I can get a job with NASA or a contractor, do something with the space program. | 102 |
| Anna Silk | I had a book that was given to me as a kid that was called 'Faeries.' It was this dark, sinister book with pictures that used to scare me because they were these creepy little creatures. But, I was always really drawn to that fantasy world, more than a sci-fi world, in terms of outer space stuff. | 102 |
| Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar | The black holes of nature are the most perfect macroscopic objects there are in the universe: the only elements in their construction are our concepts of space and time. | 102 |
| Maxfield Parrish | The hard part is how to plan a picture so as to give to others what has happened to you. To render in paint an experience, to suggest the sense of light and color, of air and space. | 102 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | Philosophically, the universe has really never made things in ones. The Earth is special and everything else is different? No, we've got seven other planets. The sun? No, the sun is one of those dots in the night sky. The Milky Way? No, it's one of a hundred billion galaxies. And the universe - maybe it's countless other universes. | 103 |
| Dwayne Johnson | WWE is a space where I thrived, and I loved, and I still do. I love connecting with an audience; that is the greatest thing about going back to WWE. | 103 |
| Mae West | Personality is the glitter that sends your little gleam across the footlights and the orchestra pit into that big black space where the audience is. | 103 |
| Felix Baumgartner | Aviation - and space travel, in particular - have always been especially captivating. | 103 |
| Grant Achatz | My home kitchen is airy, with a gas stove, a stainless-steel island table in the center and granite countertops. It's very modest but there's tons of counter space, so you can slap down three or four cutting boards. | 103 |
| Henry L. Stimson | We had news this morning of another successful atomic bomb being dropped on Nagasaki. These two heavy blows have fallen in quick succession upon the Japanese and there will be quite a little space before we intend to drop another. | 103 |
| Kate Bush | I think it's almost a law of nature that there are only certain things that hit an emotive space, and that's what was always special for me about music: it made me feel something. | 103 |
| Meryl Streep | There are improbable things suspended in space, like the earth. | 103 |
| Neil Armstrong | It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small. | 103 |
| Orson Scott Card | Metaphors have a way of holding the most truth in the least space. | 103 |
| Piet Mondrian | The rhythm of relations of color and size makes the absolute appear in the relativity of time and space. | 103 |
| Sally Ride | After the Challenger accident, NASA put in a lot of time to improve the safety of the space shuttle to fix the things that had gone wrong. | 103 |
| Sam Kinison | In the 1990s, it's OK to do comedy about the Chernobyl disaster or the Space Shuttle blowing up. It's acceptable to ridicule the Pope or the President of the United States, but God forbid you do a joke... about gays. The gay community is the last sacred cow in this society. | 103 |
| Xi Jinping | The vast Pacific Ocean has ample space for China and the United States. We welcome a constructive role by the United States in promoting peace, stability and prosperity in the region. We also hope that the United States will fully respect and accommodate the major interests and legitimate concerns of Asia-Pacific countries. | 103 |
| Barbara Hepworth | I felt the most intense pleasure in piercing the stone in order to make an abstract form and space; quite a different sensation from that of doing it for the purpose of realism. | 103 |
| Brian Blessed | When I was a child, I wanted to... go into space! To go to Mars. I wanted to explore and explore and explore. I wanted to go to the Lost World in South America - I was heartbroken to discover there were no dinosaurs; I still don't accept it. | 103 |
| Christie Brinkley | Some people think happiness is a luxury, but it's a necessity. You need to make space for it in your life. | 103 |
| Dule Hill | My parents wanted to name me Karim Hill. My aunt always liked the name Dule, from this actor Keir Dullea, who was in '2001: Space Odyssey.' That's how I got the name Karim Dule Hill. Growing up, I never liked the name Karim because people would ask me, 'Could you dunk like Kareem Abdul Jabbar?' | 103 |
| Hakeem Olajuwon | My type of basketball is about how to create space, how to maneuver, how to get your shot off. | 103 |
| Hannes Alfven | To try to write a grand cosmical drama leads necessarily to myth. To try to let knowledge substitute ignorance in increasingly larger regions of space and time is science. | 103 |
| Henry Spencer | Whether solid rockets are more or less likely to fail than liquid-fuel rockets is debatable. More serious, though, is that when they do fail, it's usually violent and spectacular. | 103 |
| James McBride | When you're interviewing someone, even your mother - you have to sort of deal with you have to get some objective space from yourself and the person but you also have to find what's the best way to get the information from that person. | 103 |
| Jimmy Chin | I've hidden behind the camera my whole life because I much, much, much prefer shooting. Being behind the camera is my safe space, and it's my creative space, too. | 103 |
| Kevin J. Anderson | I think that somebody with the resources and innovation and the idea is going to come out of nowhere and come up with a successful space travel program. | 103 |
| Konstantin Tsiolkovsky | Man must at all costs overcome the Earth's gravity and have, in reserve, the space at least of the Solar System. | 103 |
| Laurie Helgoe | There's a lot to love about America - freedom, the melting pot of diversity, individualism - all attractive concepts, especially to an introvert. In fact, the introverts were probably the first to feel crowded in England and to daydream about all the space they would find in the New World. Peace! Quiet! | 103 |
| Tyler Florence | Fifty thousand dollars' worth of cabinets isn't going to make you a better cook; cooking is going to make you a better cook. At the end of the day, you can slice a mushroom in about three inches of space, and you can carve a chicken in a foot and a half. So it doesn't matter how big the kitchen is. | 103 |
| Wilson Greatbatch | The 20th Century was the century of Aviation and the century of Globalization. The next century will be the century of Space. | 103 |
| Bruno Dumont | Hollywood films are alienating to the spectator because they use too much dialogue, too much explication and leave no space for the viewer. They depress me. | 103 |
| Burt Rutan | The photographs of space taken by our astronauts have been published all over the place. But the eye is a much more dynamic mechanism than any camera or pictures. It's a more exciting view in person than looking at the photographs. Of course, I personally am sick and tired of hearing people talk like that: I want to see it myself! | 103 |
| Carlo Rubbia | In Italy there's perhaps a little less space than in Spain, but there's certainly as much sunshine. | 103 |
| Doug Aitken | My office has two buildings that function like the right and left sides of the brain. There's a room where everything is being edited for an upcoming project, but you can pull out of that into a tranquil space to work in a different, more solitary medium. It's an architectural unfolding of the process instead of just one chaotic structure. | 103 |
| Hod Lipson | If you gave kids peas that didn't look like peas and said they were a space shuttle, they're much more apt to eat them because it's now playtime. | 103 |
| Jeff Koons | Even in making objects, as soon as you start to get the feeling that some form of craft is coming into place, you realize that everything is wrong. Because craft is really just a fetish. It is wasted energy. It's about the object, some space which has nothing to do with the human. | 103 |
| Kevin A. Ford | I think someday, out in space, perhaps, some people might be able to grow some of their own food or hopefully on another planet. | 103 |
| Liu Yang | Performing tai chi in space - it is comfortable; we got more outer space chi. | 103 |
| Pete Conrad | I think the Space Shuttle is worth one billion dollars a launch. I think that it is worth two billion dollars for what it does. I think the Shuttle is worth it for the work it does. | 103 |
| Richard Powers | My dream has always been to suspend myself in space when I write, and lying horizontal in bed is the closest to doing that. | 103 |
| Shirin Neshat | I believe and support the feminist movement, but I am not generally interested in considering women's rights in relation to equality with men, or in a competition with men, but rather within their own rights and feminine space. | 103 |
| Sissela Bok | We are all, in a sense, experts on secrecy. From earliest childhood we feel its mystery and attraction. We know both the power it confers and the burden it imposes. We learn how it can delight, give breathing space and protect. | 103 |
| Stacy Keibler | When I'm home, I like a cozy, comfortable, calming space. | 103 |
| Story Musgrave | If we ever start communicating with living creatures from other planets, the number one priority is, how are you going to communicate information? Even between different cultures here on Earth, you get into communication problems. | 103 |
| Trip Adler | Anytime there is a new, interesting space that comes along, there are a bunch of companies that enter the market. | 103 |
| David Mackay | I was a frustrated astronaut all my life. I grew up at a time when space seemed to have no boundaries, and lots of us presumed humans would be living on the moon and landing on Mars. | 103 |
| Drew Houston | To the casual observer, the Dropbox demo video looked like a normal product demonstration, but we put in about a dozen Easter eggs that were tailored for the Digg audience. References to Tay Zonday and 'Chocolate Rain' and allusions to 'Office Space' and 'XKCD.' It was a tongue-in-cheek nod to that crowd, and it kicked off a chain reaction. | 103 |
| Eduardo Chillida | Boundaries are actually the main factor in space, just as the present, another boundary, is the main factor in time. | 103 |
| Margaret Geller | When we look out into space, we're looking back in time; the light from a galaxy a billion light-years away, for instance, will take a billion years to reach us. It's an amazing thing. The history is there for us to see. It's not mushed up like the geologic record of Earth. You can just see it exactly as it was. | 103 |
| Tim Armstrong | I think, from a standpoint of editorial, you know, AOL historically has played in a very deep way across many different verticals in the content space. Huffington Post adds a very large new dimension to that. | 103 |
| Antony Garrett Lisi | I think the universe is pure geometry - basically, a beautiful shape twisting around and dancing over space-time. | 103 |
| Barbara Cartland | As long as the plots keep arriving from outer space, I'll go on with my virgins. | 103 |
| Claude Nicollier | The future infrared space telescope will cover that area in a much more efficient manner. | 103 |
| Daryn Kagan | It's important to be informed but I also think it's important to be inspired. I'm creating a space where people can be inspired. | 103 |
| James C. Maxwell | The mind of man has perplexed itself with many hard questions. Is space infinite, and in what sense? Is the material world infinite in extent, and are all places within that extent equally full of matter? Do atoms exist or is matter infinitely divisible? | 103 |
| Marc Forgione | The kitchen is a sacred space. | 103 |
| Antoine Predock | Underwater, I experience space with my body. I'll see a school of fish gathering and moving together and I'll exclaim, 'This is architecture.' | 103 |
| Jim Fowler | The quicker we humans learn that saving open space and wildlife is critical to our welfare and quality of life, maybe we'll start thinking of doing something about it. | 103 |
| John L. Phillips | There weren't any astronauts until I was about 10. Yuri Gagarin went into space right around my 10th birthday. | 103 |
| Mark Kelly | Having the benefit to our society, not only here in the United States but throughout the world with the amount of invention you get from having a space program, is well worth the risk that an individual like myself has to take by flying in the vehicle. | 103 |
| Michael J. Massimino | For me, the Earth had always been a kind of a safe haven, you know, where I could go to work or be in my home or take my kids to school. But I realized it really wasn't that. It really is its own spaceship. And I had always been a space traveler. | 103 |
| Andrew Gould | For a long time, we've worked on detecting planets with whatever was at hand, making use of existing small telescopes or even amateur telescopes. It's time to move on to the next stage. | 103 |
| Arthur Cayley | Not that the propositions of geometry are only approximately true, but that they remain absolutely true in regard to that Euclidean space which has been so long regarded as being the physical space of our experience. | 103 |
| Julius Genachowski | I am impressed with the innovation in the wireless marketplace. The Blackberry, the iPhone, the Pre, and other smart devices are breakthrough technologies that have helped revolutionize the wireless space. | 103 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | If the United States commits to the goal of reaching Mars, it will almost certainly do so in reaction to the progress of other nations - as was the case with NASA, the Apollo program, and the project that became the International Space Station. | 104 |
| Marshall McLuhan | There are no passengers on spaceship earth. We are all crew. | 104 |
| Brian Greene | Black holes provide theoreticians with an important theoretical laboratory to test ideas. Conditions within a black hole are so extreme, that by analyzing aspects of black holes we see space and time in an exotic environment, one that has shed important, and sometimes perplexing, new light on their fundamental nature. | 104 |
| Craig Venter | I am absolutely certain that life can exist in outer space, move around, find a new aqueous environment. | 104 |
| Gus Van Sant | The area of teenage life is not necessarily rarefied; we've all gone through that period. It's not as rarefied as a western or a space adventure or a gangster film, but it has its own dynamic. | 104 |
| Kate Moss | Well, I met Frank Sinatra and Bob Dylan in the space of 15 minutes. Frank Sinatra kissed me on the lips. He kissed me on the lips. And then he gave me a filterless cigarette. And then I met Bob Dylan. I came off all lightheaded and had to go sit on his dressing-room steps. | 104 |
| Louise L. Hay | Each one of us decides to incarnate upon this planet at a particular point in time and space. We have chosen to come here to learn a particular lesson that will advance us upon our spiritual, evolutionary pathway. | 104 |
| Neil Armstrong | Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed. | 104 |
| Nicola Formichetti | Having plants and flowers in my space makes me feel very calm and Zen. For me, it's important to meditate every morning to be very clear in the head, and nature really helps me do the same thing. | 104 |
| Orson Pratt | God the Father and God the Son cannot be everywhere present; indeed they cannot be even in two places at the same instant: but God the Holy Spirit is omnipresent - it extends through all space, with all other matter. | 104 |
| Pico Iyer | Nearly everybody I know does something to try to remove herself to clear her head and to have enough time and space to think... All of us instinctively feel that something inside us is crying out for more spaciousness and stillness to offset the exhilarations of this movement and the fun and diversion of the modern world. | 104 |
| Renzo Piano | As an architect, you have to provide a shelter to enjoy art. And you have to love art. It's like when you make a concert hall. You must love music. This is the reason why you make the space, to enjoy music - making a space for art is the same thing. | 104 |
| Roy H. Williams | In essence, String Theory describes space and time, matter and energy, gravity and light, indeed all of God's creation... as music. | 104 |
| Valentina Tereshkova | 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. | 104 |
| Zoe Sugg | When life catches up with us, we all need space to dream and indulge, so I have created my own special range of bath & beauty loveliness to help you find your happy place. | 104 |
| Edward Burtynsky | I can go into the wilderness and not see anyone for days and experience a kind of space that hasn't changed for tens of thousands of years. Having that experience was necessary to my perception of how photography can look at the changes humanity has brought about in the landscape. My work does become a kind of lament. | 104 |
| Eugene Cernan | We don't have the capability today to put a human being in space of any kind, shape or form, which is absolutely, totally unacceptable when we got the greatest flying machine in the world sitting down at Kennedy in a garage there with nothing to do. | 104 |
| Frank Tipler | Human uploads have such a natural advantage over present-day people in the environment of space, it's exceedingly unlikely flesh-and-blood beings will ever engage in interstellar travel. | 104 |
| Graham Moore | Space camp was actually, like, the best summer of my life. It was amazing. But I thought I wanted to be a computer programmer, and among computer science folks, Turing is this object of cult-like fascination. | 104 |
| Henry Spencer | Sometimes people wonder why aeroplanes are so cheap and rockets are so expensive. Even the most superficial comparison shows one obvious difference: aeroplane engines use outside air to burn their fuel, while rockets have to carry their own oxidisers along. | 104 |
| Kapil Sharma | It was a unique childhood, to say the least. My father was born in Patiala to refugee parents and was a part of the Indian Air Force. The talented few amongst the Air Force pilots are made test pilots. Test pilots are best suited to look at the space programme as they are trained to expect the unexpected. | 104 |
| Laura Kightlinger | I love punching the ceiling with my fists when I'm lost or I can't find a parking space. | 104 |
| Mae Jemison | I always knew I'd go to space. | 104 |
| Neil Turok | It may be that we live in an endless universe, both in space and in time. And there've been Bangs in the past, and there will be Bangs in the future. | 104 |
| Sam Shepard | For me, playwriting is and has always been like making a chair. Your concerns are balance, form, timing, lights, space, music. If you don't have these essentials, you might as well be writing a theoretical essay, not a play. | 104 |
| Tina Louise | Mental communication without verbalization... all space is made up of waves and we are constantly sending and receiving messages from our brain. | 104 |
| Bob Barr | Looking down the road, space exploration and the benefits it yields - in medicine and information technology - should not be overlooked. | 104 |
| Eric Allin Cornell | I certainly remember building model rockets. It was fun to watch the rocket blast into the air, suspenseful to wonder if the parachute would open to bring the rocket safely back. | 104 |
| Graham Hawkes | Space exploration promised us alien life, lucrative planetary mining, and fabulous lunar colonies. News flash, ladies and gents: Space is nearly empty. It's a sterile vacuum, filled mostly with the junk we put up there. | 104 |
| Jill Soloway | At East Side Jews, we can take a risk because it isn't all about the rules. I started it to create a space for all those people who wouldn't go to temple because they were scared of getting the rules wrong. | 104 |
| Judy Chicago | I think what's important is to give space to the range of human experience. | 104 |
| Laurel Clark | We're looking at Earth science, observing our planet. Also space science, looking at the ozone in the atmosphere around our Earth. Also looking at life science. And on a human level, using ourselves as test subjects. | 104 |
| Linda M. Godwin | We launch when we're kind of in the same orbit that they are in terms of being matched up in inclination in space, and we're just in a little different altitude. | 104 |
| Michel Faber | Art is head space that is very exclusive: it shuts people out; other people cease to exist. | 104 |
| Philip Hammond | We will build in Britain a cyber strike capability so we can strike back in cyber space against enemies who attack us, putting cyber alongside land, sea, air and space as a mainstream military activity. | 104 |
| Christa McAuliffe | I will have a one-hour program called the Mission Watch, where I will describe details of the mission and give additional information about the lessons from space. | 104 |
| David Chase | I said it's a cold universe and I don't mean that metaphorically. If you go out into space, it's cold. It's really cold and we don't know what's up there. We happen to be in this little pocket where there's a sun. What have we got except love and each other to guard against all that isolation and loneliness? | 104 |
| Edwin Way Teale | Time and space - time to be alone, space to move about - these may well become the great scarcities of tomorrow. | 104 |
| Michael P. Anderson | When you launch in a rocket, you're not really flying that rocket. You're just sort of hanging on. | 104 |
| Regina Spektor | I've been thinking a lot about space. It was one of those slow-motion realisations how little we are, how far we are from everything else in our solar system. This idea of distance started kind of haunting me. How do you go forth and accomplish things but not end up leaving everything you started out with in the dust? | 104 |
| James J. Gibson | The abstract analysis of the world by mathematics and physics rests on the concepts of space and time. | 104 |
| Pritam Chakraborty | I was offered a few shows, but the money didn't work out, but I'm not very keen on judging such shows. I'm happy in my space as a composer. | 104 |
| Ruth St. Denis | The real message of the Dance opens up the vistas of life to all who have the urge to express beauty with no other instrument than their own bodies, with no apparatus and no dependence on anything other than space. | 104 |
| James Bay | Growing up, when I was at live shows, I was always hoping someone would come out on stage and say, 'The guitarist is sick and couldn't make it... does anybody know how to play all the songs?' That was always my little dream. It was a massively inspiring thing to be in a space with live shows. | 104 |
| John L. Phillips | In the 19th Century people were looking for the Northwest Passage. Ships were lost and brave people were killed, but that doesn't mean we never went back to that part of the world again, and I consider it the same in space exploration. | 104 |
| John Sexton | In my mind I needed a symbol of today's technology, and I realized that what I wanted to photograph was the Space Shuttle. And so that's where Places of Power came into being. | 104 |
| Marc Garneau | Canada and space are a natural fit. | 104 |
| Richard Brautigan | Probably the closest things to perfection are the huge absolutely empty holes that astronomers have recently discovered in space. If there's nothing there, how can anything go wrong? | 104 |
| Jeremy Northam | The space and light up there in Norfolk is wonderfully peaceful. I find myself doing funny things like gardening, and cooking, which I rarely do in London. | 104 |
| Joanna Scott | I'm really such a bumbler! Writing fiction is like arranging furniture in a dark room. I can't see what I'm doing. I grope for the right words. I bump against the wrong words and stumble and stub my toe and curse and keep trying to guess what belongs in the space. | 104 |
| Janna Levin | We have never observed infinity in nature. Whenever you have infinities in a theory, that's where the theory fails as a description of nature. And if space was born in the Big Bang, yet is infinite now, we are forced to believe that it's instantaneously, infinitely big. It seems absurd. | 104 |
| John Joly | Geological age plays the same part in our views of the duration of the universe as the Earth's orbital radius does in our views of the immensity of space. | 104 |
| David Attenborough | It's coming home to roost over the next 50 years or so. It's not just climate change; it's sheer space, places to grow food for this enormous horde. Either we limit our population growth or the natural world will do it for us, and the natural world is doing it for us right now. | 105 |
| Lady Gaga | Every bit of me is devoted to love and art. And I aspire to try to be a teacher to my young fans who feel just like I felt when I was younger. I just felt like a freak. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm trying to liberate them, I want to free them of their fears and make them feel that they can make their own space in the world. | 105 |
| Bill Nye | NASA is an engine of innovation and inspiration as well as the world's premier space exploration agency, and we are well served by politicians working to keep it that way, instead of turning it into a mere jobs program, or worse, cutting its budget. | 105 |
| Chance The Rapper | With 'Acid Rap,' I allowed myself to be really open-minded and free with who I allowed into my musical space. I wanted to make a cohesive product, but I also just want to make a bunch of dope songs inspired by whatever sounds I liked. | 105 |
| Chuck Close | Painting is the most magical of mediums. The transcendence is truly amazing to me every time I go to a museum and I see how somebody figured another way to rub colored dirt on a flat surface and make space where there is no space or make you think of a life experience. | 105 |
| David Suzuki | The human brain now holds the key to our future. We have to recall the image of the planet from outer space: a single entity in which air, water, and continents are interconnected. That is our home. | 105 |
| Democritus | Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion. | 105 |
| Ellsworth Kelly | I'm interested in the space between the viewer and the surface of the painting - the forms and the way they work in their surroundings. I'm interested in how they react to a room. | 105 |
| FKA twigs | I love my music, so I want to produce, write, and serve my music. I've had to learn about EQ frequencies and programming and space and clutter and how to be a better piano or bass player - everything. | 105 |
| Florence Kelley | Hence, within the space of two generations there has been a complete revolution in the attitude of the trades-unions toward the women working in their trades. | 105 |
| Frank Stella | But, after all, the aim of art is to create space - space that is not compromised by decoration or illustration, space within which the subjects of painting can live. | 105 |
| Gavin Newsom | The arts can play a vital role in revitalizing neighborhoods, using and improving vacant space, bringing new jobs and new sense of opportunity, and improving public safety by generating more foot traffic and more eyes on the street. | 105 |
| Kenny G | I started realizing that music is the one area where I've always let go. When that saxophone goes into my mouth, I get into a space where I never think about the notes I've already played or anticipate the notes ahead. | 105 |
| Michio Kaku | It's very dangerous to put astronauts on a moon base where there's radiation, solar flares and micro meteorites. It'd be much better to put robots on the moon and have them mentally connected to astronauts on the Earth. | 105 |
| Paul Keating | I've always held the view that great states need strategic space. I mean, George Washington took his space from George III. Britain took it from just about everybody. Russia took all of Eastern Europe. Germany's taken it from everywhere they can, and China will want its space too. | 105 |
| Philip Johnson | All architecture is shelter, all great architecture is the design of space that contains, cuddles, exalts, or stimulates the persons in that space. | 105 |
| Sally Ride | The stars don't look bigger, but they do look brighter. | 105 |
| Scott Kelly | It's an international space station. We have crew members from both the U.S. and Russia and now the United Kingdom with Tim Peake from the U.K... It's great to see that, on this space station, that we can work across cultures in a very cooperative way. | 105 |
| Seth Shostak | The stars look the same from night to night. Nebulae and galaxies are dully immutable, maintaining the same overall appearance for thousands or millions of years. Indeed, only the sun, moon and planets - together with the occasional comet, asteroid or meteor - seem dynamic. | 105 |
| Tadao Ando | When I design buildings, I think of the overall composition, much as the parts of a body would fit together. On top of that, I think about how people will approach the building and experience that space. | 105 |
| Tim Berners-Lee | Sites need to be able to interact in one single, universal space. | 105 |
| Valentina Tereshkova | Once you've been in space, you appreciate how small and fragile the Earth is. | 105 |
| William S. Burroughs | Language is a virus from outer space. | 105 |
| Bootsy Collins | Usually when I'm out doing stuff, I'm just out in the wild, doing the wild thing. I don't really get a chance to just chill out until I come here, in my creative space. | 105 |
| Brian Blessed | I have marvelous dreams! I meet Buddha, I meet Jesus, I meet Mohammed. I constantly dream of space, stars and planets: we are the children of stardust. | 105 |
| Erik Qualman | As social media is less about technology and more about relationship building, we are starting to see more women have a heavy influence if not dominant role in the social media space. It's no wonder that Facebook is being run in part by chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg. | 105 |
| Helen Sharman | You don't go into space just for the science. Economically, it is not worth it. I think the reason we should be in space is for the exploration; it's the human endeavour. | 105 |
| Jamais Cascio | When we developed written language, we significantly increased our functional memory and our ability to share insights and knowledge across time and space. The same thing happened with the invention of the printing press, the telegraph, and the radio. | 105 |
| Jason Mraz | I don't think love is a tricky issue at all. Love is best understood when we share: Share time, energy, food, resources, insights, information, whatever. It's usually thought of as something that exists between two people, but that's just because it's easier to see and feel in the space between them. Each person is sharing a lot with the other. | 105 |
| Jim Lovell | Houston, we've had a problem. | 105 |
| Johannes Kepler | Planets move in ellipses with the Sun at one focus. | 105 |
| Jules Renard | An optimist is a driver who thinks that empty space at the curb won't have a hydrant beside it. | 105 |
| Karen Gillan | Space excites me. My dream is to go to space. | 105 |
| Konstantin Tsiolkovsky | Mankind will not forever remain on Earth but, in the pursuit of light and space, will first timidly emerge from the bounds of the atmosphere and then advance until he has conquered the whole of circumsolar space. | 105 |
| Liz Murray | If I had a magic wand, I would live in a building in New York, big enough so my friends, my family could all have apartments in it. We'd raise our kids in the same space and have backyard barbecues and get old and fat together. | 105 |
| Sun Ra | And then when I went to Chicago, that's when I had these outer space experiences and went to the other planets. | 105 |
| Theodore Sturgeon | Inner space is so much more interesting, because outer space is so empty. | 105 |
| Tracey Ullman | Why does everyone think the future is space helmets, silver foil, and talking like computers, like a bad episode of Star Trek? | 105 |
| William T. Vollmann | There have been times when I'm writing about things that are personally embarrassing. Like any human being, sometimes I can't help but wonder - 'What are the people I know going to think about this?' So I have to remind myself that all is permissible. Art has to be a free space. Language has to be a free space. | 105 |
| Anish Kapoor | I think I understand something about space. I think the job of a sculptor is spatial as much as it is to do with form. | 105 |
| Anthony Holden | What it was at the time was literally a plea for, to get the pressure off for a while, to give her space to breathe. She was very unhappy. She was feeling pretty claustrophobic. | 105 |
| Bill Lee | I think about the cosmic snowball theory. A few million years from now the sun will burn out and lose its gravitational pull. The earth will turn into a giant snowball and be hurled through space. When that happens it won't matter if I get this guy out. | 105 |
| Burt Rutan | With any luck, by the time NASA's space probe hits Pluto, you'll be booking a spaceflight with a privately run suborbital airline. | 105 |
| George Smoot | The discovery and investigation of life on other planets is likely to change many of our ideas about how life arose on the Earth and even what is life and its natural development. | 105 |
| Greta Scacchi | Theatre is a sacred space for actors. You are responsible; you are in the driving-seat. | 105 |
| John Cage | There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot. | 105 |
| John Glenn | I don't know what you could say about a day in which you have seen four beautiful sunsets. | 105 |
| Kate Klise | During the holiday season, it's easy to forget that sometimes the best gift of all is simply the gift of time. I can't think of anything a writer would appreciate more than being given time and space to work. | 105 |
| Larry Niven | Building one space station for everyone was and is insane: we should have built a dozen. | 105 |
| Abbie Cornish | Growing up on a farm was the best. I remember loving that expanse of space. The sky at night was so clear, I could see every star. | 105 |
| Lawrence Hargrave | The wings are moved several times by hand to charge the crank chamber with mixture, which flows on through the external pipe and inlet valve to the compression space and cylinder. | 105 |
| Michelangelo Antonioni | When man becomes reconciled to nature, when space becomes his true background, these words and concepts will have lost their meaning, and we will no longer have to use them. | 105 |
| Ted Nelson | The ideas keep going, you have the material, you cut because there's a limit to the space allowed to you. And the space is limited because of some other constraints that have to do with money or printing or whatever. | 105 |
| Tad Williams | Every major technological step forward has profoundly changed human society - that's how we know they're major, even if we don't always realise it at the time. Farming created cities. Writing, followed eventually by printing, vastly increased the preservation and transmission of cultural information across time and space. | 105 |
| John Astin | People are transported to that space that Poe wanted to make available to us. | 105 |
| Lemn Sissay | I think we are in an age where cash pays for time and space. The more cash you have, the bigger space you can buy and the smaller the technology to put in it. | 105 |
| Alex Grey | I acknowledge the privilege of being alive in a human body at this moment, endowed with senses, memories, emotions, thoughts, and the space of mind in its wisdom aspect. | 105 |
| C. V. Raman | To an observer situated on the moon or on one of the planets, the most noticeable feature on the surface of our globe would no doubt be the large areas covered by oceanic water. The sunlit face of the earth would appear to shine by the light diffused back into space from the land and water-covered areas. | 105 |
| Marc Garneau | Canada's a huge country, so to be able to unite the country through communication satellite technology or to be able to observe it through remote sensing technology from space is a natural fit for a country like Canada. | 105 |
| Dan Flavin | Realizing this, I knew that the actual space of a room could be broken down and played with by planting illusions of real light (electric light) at crucial junctures in the room's composition. | 105 |
| Michael J. Massimino | I think most astronauts are not risk takers. We take calculated risks for something that we think is worthwhile. | 105 |
| Viktor E. Frankl | Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. | 106 |
| Bette Davis | Oh, don't let's ask for the moon. We've already got the stars. | 106 |
| Christopher Alexander | I believe that all centers that appear in space - whether they originate in biology, in physical forces, in pure geometry, in color - are alike simply in that they all animate space. It is this animated space that has its functional effect upon the world, that determines the way things work, that governs the presence of harmony and life. | 106 |
| Issey Miyake | From the beginning I thought about working with the body in movement, the space between the body and clothes. I wanted the clothes to move when people moved. The clothes are also for people to dance or laugh. | 106 |
| Ivo Andric | Between the fear that something would happen and the hope that still it wouldn't, there is much more space than one thinks. On that narrow, hard, bare and dark space a lot of us spend their lives. | 106 |
| Jules Verne | In spite of the opinions of certain narrow-minded people, who would shut up the human race upon this globe, as within some magic circle it must never outstep, we shall one day travel to the moon, the planets, and the stars, with the same facility, rapidity, and certainty as we now make the voyage from Liverpool to New York! | 106 |
| Le Corbusier | Space and light and order. Those are the things that men need just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep. | 106 |
| Richard Louv | Leave part of the yard rough. Don't manicure everything. Small children in particular love to turn over rocks and find bugs, and give them some space to do that. Take your child fishing. Take your child on hikes. | 106 |
| Ronda Rousey | The bigger my chest is, the more it gets in the way. It just creates space. It makes me much more efficient if I don't have so much in the way between me and my opponent. | 106 |
| Sally Ride | Rocket science is tough, and rockets have a way of failing. | 106 |
| Scott Kelly | I believe in the importance of flying in space and the research that we do. | 106 |
| Valentina Tereshkova | Hey sky, take off your hat, I'm on my way! | 106 |
| Vanessa Paradis | Not everyone is lucky enough to be given space and trust. | 106 |
| Wernher von Braun | There is just one thing I can promise you about the outer-space program - your tax-dollar will go further. | 106 |
| Yaya Toure | English football is so physical and fast that when you see a space, you have to go into it with all your speed. | 106 |
| David McCandless | In an endless jungle of websites with text-based content, a beautiful image with a lot of space and colour can be like walking into a clearing. It's a relief. | 106 |
| Deborah Mailman | I grew up with horses and cattle, running around on dirt hills with this real sense of space. We didn't have neighbours - well, the nearest ones were kilometres away. | 106 |
| Jim Lovell | The lunar flights give you a correct perception of our existence. You look back at Earth from the moon, and you can put your thumb up to the window and hide the Earth behind your thumb. Everything you've ever known is behind your thumb, and that blue-and-white ball is orbiting a rather normal star, tucked away on the outer edge of a galaxy. | 106 |
| Konstantin Tsiolkovsky | I do not remember how it got into my head to make the first calculations related to rocket. It seems to me the first seeds were planted by famous fantaseour, J. Verne. | 106 |
| Mae Jemison | I stayed in the astronaut program until 1993. People ask me why I left. I thought I had a lot of things to contribute that would be difficult to do if I stayed. I thought I could have a stronger voice as an advocate for space exploration. So I ended up starting my own technology consulting company. | 106 |
| Martin Rees | To most people in the U.K., indeed throughout Western Europe, space exploration is primarily perceived as 'what NASA does'. This perception is - in many respects - a valid one. Superpower rivalry during the Cold War ramped up U.S. and Soviet space efforts to a scale that Western Europe had no motive to match. | 106 |
| Peter Greenaway | I think that films or indeed any art work should be made in a way that they are infinitely viewable; so that you could go back to it time and time again, not necessarily immediately but over a space of time, and see new things in it, or new ways of looking at it. | 106 |
| Peter Mandelson | Firstly, people take for granted that the E.U. has created the biggest economic space in the world. | 106 |
| Rachel Kushner | Tone is somewhat totalising in that, once I locate it, it tells me what kind of syntax to use, what word choices to make, how much white space to leave on the page, what sentence length, what the rhythmic patterning will be. If I can't find the tone, I sometimes try narrating through the point of view of someone else. | 106 |
| Susan Orlean | Living in a rural setting exposes you to so many marvelous things - the natural world and the particular texture of small-town life, and the exhilarating experience of open space. | 106 |
| Anish Kapoor | Sculpture occupies the same space as your body. | 106 |
| Annabelle Selldorf | I always tend to think, even in residential projects, about what a space is being asked to do - where is it located, what are the circumstances, where can I attack the problem, so to speak. How can you create a narrative for people moving through it? How can you convey its character? | 106 |
| Casey Affleck | I am in the process of starting a nonprofit organization that gives rescued animals a home in a simulated wild environment and, for those who have been tested on, who are disabled, aggressive, etc., their own space to live out their days. | 106 |
| Jean Giraudoux | A golf course is the epitome of all that is purely transitory in the universe; a space not to dwell in, but to get over as quickly as possible. | 106 |
| John Battelle | Drones ply the liminal space between the physical and the digital - pilots fly them, but aren't in them. They are versatile and fascinating objects - the things they can do range from the mundane (aerial photography) to the spectacular - killing people, for example. | 106 |
| Robert Stack | Now on the other hand, if someone is selling a product, opening a dance studio, or has some other aim to help themselves, then I tend to look askance at some of these strange stories from outer space. | 106 |
| Suzan-Lori Parks | My plays are for the kind of black people who relate to funk music, to Parliament-Funkadelic. When those guys get out of a spaceship - the idea that black people are from outer space, there's a poetic truth to that. We are this vast people. | 106 |
| Dennis Bergkamp | The regular things in my life now - training sessions and playing matches - will all fall away. That will leave a big empty space and it will need to be filled. | 106 |
| Michelangelo Antonioni | I mean simply to say that I want my characters to suggest the background in themselves, even when it is not visible. I want them to be so powerfully realized that we cannot imagine them apart from their physical and social context even when we see them in empty space. | 106 |
| Thandie Newton | Then I became a mother and it just fills every space, that isn't filled with something else important. It's just like this incredible balloon that blows up and fills life up. | 106 |
| Marc Garneau | I think the crux of the matter was that if we were going to become partners in, for example, the International Space Station, we had to gain the respect of a country like the United States and particularly its space organization, NASA. | 106 |
| Michael J. Massimino | The thing I remember most about space is the view from the spacewalk. When I was inside the space shuttle and looking through the window, you can see the earth and the stars, and it's very beautiful, but it's like looking at an aquarium, sort of. When you go outside and spacewalk, you become a scuba diver. | 106 |
| Jerry Cantrell | You feel different every day of your life. You just have to create your own space to survive, personally and professionally. | 106 |
| John Bonham | I hate it when people slag us off. We had done three tours during 1970 and we finished off feeling we had just about had enough. We had done so much in that short space of time, we were drained. | 106 |
| Thomas Merton | What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves? This is the most important of all voyages of discovery, and without it, all the rest are not only useless, but disastrous. | 107 |
| Arthur C. Clarke | Sometimes I think we're alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we're not. In either case the idea is quite staggering. | 107 |
| Erwin McManus | You can plant a church and grow a church. That's not that hard to do, but it's harder to be a viable source of transformation in a city or your time or space. | 107 |
| Iain Sinclair | The negotiation of city space has been made more difficult with the idea that redevelopment is an improvement for some vague future - but it's never like that, is it? Once you get there, for economic reasons you have to generate the next project - so you're immediately starting to dig up something else, and so it goes on. | 107 |
| Ludwig Mies van der Rohe | Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space. | 107 |
| Michio Kaku | One in 200 stars has habitable Earth-like planets surrounding it - in the galaxy, half a billion stars have Earth-like planets going around them - that's huge, half a billion. So when we look at the night sky, it makes sense that someone is looking back at us. | 107 |
| Nancy Gibbs | Most of us were probably less than immaculately honest as teenagers; it's practically encoded into adolescence that you savor your secrets, dress in disguise, carve out some space for experiments and accidents and all the combustible lab work of becoming who you are. | 107 |
| Natalie Wood | At night, when the sky is full of stars and the sea is still you get the wonderful sensation that you are floating in space. | 107 |
| Scott Kelly | Adjusting to space is easier than adjusting to Earth for me. | 107 |
| Sojourner Truth | Those are the same stars, and that is the same moon, that look down upon your brothers and sisters, and which they see as they look up to them, though they are ever so far away from us, and each other. | 107 |
| Tara Brach | Quite simply, if you're feeling anxious, angry, a sense of shame, whatever it is, breathe in and agree to touch or feel it. Breathing out, offer space and care to whatever's there. If there's blocking to touching it, emphasize the in-breath and stay embodied. | 107 |
| Valentina Tereshkova | It doesn't matter what country or what political system you are from. Space brings you together. | 107 |
| Vitruvius | For an object under the eye will appear very different from the same object placed above it; in an inclosed space, very different from the same in an open space. | 107 |
| William Dean Howells | We are creatures of the moment; we live from one little space to another, and only one interest at a time fills these. | 107 |
| Craig Bruce | Geez, all that money we waste on space exploration; just think how many bombs that would buy! | 107 |
| Daniel H. Wilson | Over the past 50 years we got versions of X-ray specs and space vacations, and even death rays. But the X-ray specs don't fit on your face - they're big things that screen your luggage for guns. Space vacations are real, but they cost $20 million. We have death rays, but you have to be a triple Ph.D. to play with them. | 107 |
| David Guetta | I want to party in space because I make alien music. | 107 |
| Helen Sharman | When the history books are written in a thousand years, when space travel would have become routine, the moment that humans first left Earth will be of huge importance. Star City is a central part of this story and it deserves more recognition. | 107 |
| Konstantin Tsiolkovsky | From the moment of using rocket devices, a great new era will begin in astronomy: the epoch of the more intensive study of the firmament. | 107 |
| Anne-Marie Duff | You want to have enough of a profile to be able to do all the work you can, but at the same time you want to have your own space. But there are a lot of actors who achieve it, a lot of movie stars even, people like Emily Watson and Cate Blanchett. They seem to be able to carry on with their lives and still produce wonderful, high-profile work. | 107 |
| Ariel Pink | If I got the option of going into outer space and hanging out there for a day and then coming back home and dying the next day, or just waiting around to see if there's any opportunity for the technology to develop so that I might experience outer space sometime in the future, I would probably take the ride today and die tomorrow. | 107 |
| Burt Rutan | Space travel is the only technology that is more dangerous and more expensive now than it was in its first year. Fifty years after Yuri Gagarin, the space shuttle ended up being more dangerous and more expensive to fly than those first throwaway rockets, even though large portions of it were reusable. It's absurd. | 107 |
| Luke Ford | My habit of glorifying things far away in space and time, also contributed to my social isolation. | 107 |
| Marie Kondo | Once you learn to choose your belongings properly, you will be left with only the amount that fits perfectly in the space you own. | 107 |
| Peter Criss | Cool things happen. Ace's guitar flies through space, goes through a hole, and blows up. I throw drumsticks and they come flying at you. | 107 |
| Pippa Middleton | When hosting a party, move any clutter from the space where you're entertaining. | 107 |
| Amber Rose | When I was super young, I had an Atari and used to play 'Space Invaders.' Then I fell in love with 'Mario Bros.,' 'Sonic the Hedgehog' and 'Yoshi' on Super Nintendo. I was quite a bit of a gamer as a kid when I think about it. | 107 |
| Ben Parr | With every inch of land on Earth now catalogued by our satellites, the stars are the next place we as a species must travel. And with a booming world population that will hit 9.1 billion in 2050, large-scale space travel may become a necessity. | 107 |
| Caity Lotz | There are different types of talents and intelligences, and traditional schools sometimes ignore the creative ones. It is important for us to give kids every platform for them to find what they are good at and what they love. The arts also provide a space for newfound creativity. | 107 |
| Dennis Bergkamp | When I played in Holland, I always tried to lob the goalkeeper. People used to say, 'Oh, you're always only trying to make a nice goal'. But I said, 'Listen, if the goalie is a little bit off his line, how much space do you have on his left or right?' It's not a lot. 'And how much space do you have above him?' | 107 |
| Adam Braun | It always surprises me when donors who operate successful businesses assume that just building a school structure means that a community now has access to education. When creating a business, does renting an office space now mean that you're producing goods, training staff and generating revenues? | 107 |
| Rusty Schweickart | The frontier in space, embodied in the space colony, is one in which the interactions between humans and their environment is so much more sensitive and interactive and less tolerant of irresponsibility than it is on the whole surface of the Earth. | 107 |
| Jill Tarter | Earlier generations of stars in the galaxy could well have had planets. But really, there was only hydrogen and helium to work with, so they'd all be gas giants and not small, rocky planets. | 107 |
| Joseph Campbell | Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again. | 108 |
| Ansel Adams | Yosemite Valley, to me, is always a sunrise, a glitter of green and golden wonder in a vast edifice of stone and space. | 108 |
| Alan Shepard | So everything turned out fine, and we were given the opportunity to go to Washington and be briefed on the project of man in space, and given the opportunity to choose whether we wanted to get involved or not. | 108 |
| Alejandro Jodorowsky | You live in the image you have of the world. Every one of us lives in a different world, with different space and different time. | 108 |
| Adlai E. Stevenson | To me, there is something superbly symbolic in the fact that an astronaut, sent up as assistant to a series of computers, found that he worked more accurately and more intelligently than they. Inside the capsule, man is still in charge. | 108 |
| Buzz Aldrin | Bringing an asteroid back to Earth? What's that have to do with space exploration? If we were moving outward from there, and an asteroid is a good stopping point, then fine. But now it's turned into a whole planetary defense exercise at the cost of our outward exploration. | 108 |
| Chuck Close | Sculpture occupies real space like we do... you walk around it and relate to it almost as another person or another object. | 108 |
| Dee Hock | Make an empty space in any corner of your mind, and creativity will instantly fill it. | 108 |
| Imelda Staunton | Her death has had a huge effect on me. It felt like a big hole appeared on my left side - apparently your left side is your mother - which I thought could never be filled. Now I think what you have to do is fill it with yourself because your mother is part of you. I'm easing into that space, using it and being comforted by it. | 108 |
| Kate Moss | Then finally I said, 'Okay, well, I want to know all the details. I want creative input. I want to be consulted. I want to know what they're doing and who's involved. And I want to see the space.' So they took me to see it, and then I realized it was major! All these red flags on the Rue de Rivoli with my name on them right by the Louvre! | 108 |
| Samantha Power | Throughout history, when societies face tough economic times, we have seen democratic reforms deferred, decreased trust in government, persecution of minority groups, and a general shrinking of the democratic space. | 108 |
| Scott Kelly | Going to Mars is a bunch of baby steps, and it started off with the first human in space, Yuri Gagarin. | 108 |
| Seth Shostak | Each year, thousands of UFOs are sighted and reported, which is an impressive tally of unidentified aerial phenomena. Surveys show that roughly one-third of the populace believes that at least some of this sky show is due to extraterrestrial spacecraft, here to probe our airspace and, when that proves boring, our bodies. | 108 |
| Tom Hardy | It's about the characters, it's about the film, it's about the process of making stunning visuals and a huge, epic movie. It doesn't matter if my head was covered in a black plastic bag and I was bouncing around in a space hopper: That's the villain of Chris Nolan's 'Batman!' | 108 |
| Valentina Tereshkova | 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. | 108 |
| William S. Burroughs | In my writing I am acting as a map maker, an explorer of psychic areas, a cosmonaut of inner space, and I see no point in exploring areas that have already been thoroughly surveyed. | 108 |
| Alan Bean | Eventually there are going to be cities in space. | 108 |
| Antony Gormley | I believe in the city as a natural human environment, but we must humanize it. It's art that will re-define public space in the 21st Century. We can make our cities diverse, inspirational places by putting art, dance and performance in all its forms into the matrix of street life. | 108 |
| Carl Honore | You don't have to work for Google, or any of the other firms encouraging staff to pursue personal projects on company time, to use slowness to unlock your creativity. Anyone can do it. Start by clearing space in your schedule for rest, daydreaming and serendipity. Take breaks away from your desk, especially when you get stuck on a problem. | 108 |
| Carol Ann Duffy | I write in that space between Ella's childhood and mine. I know it all sounds a bit sinister. | 108 |
| Cynthia Ozick | Profound subject matter can be encompassed in small space - for proof, look at any sonnet by Shakespeare! | 108 |
| Deborah Mailman | Behind my door at home, that's when I'm relaxed, and that's when I can allow the emotions or whatever - to feel just what I want to feel - so a lot of people don't know me in that respect. I need a bit of space, a bit of a place to come home to and not have to pretend or perform anymore, where I'm just myself. | 108 |
| Duane G. Carey | I'm looking forward to coming back, back to Earth, the landing, the views. | 108 |
| Geoff Johns | We are finding new areas in the ocean every day. It's as alien as going to outer space. | 108 |
| Helen Sharman | I'd love to go back to space, I don't know any astronaut who doesn't want to. | 108 |
| Jeb Bush | Who among us has never looked up into the heavens on a starlit night, lost in wonder at the vastness of space and the beauty of the stars? | 108 |
| Jonathan Sacks | Make space in your life for the things that matter, for family and friends, love and generosity, fun and joy. Without this, you will burn out in mid-career and wonder where your life went. | 108 |
| Mae Jemison | Sometimes people ask me how difficult the astronaut program was, but being in Sierra Leone, being responsible for the health of more than 200 people, seven days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, at age 26 - that prepared me to take on a lot of different challenges. | 108 |
| Robert Lanza | The farther we peer into space, the more we realize that the nature of the universe cannot be understood fully by inspecting spiral galaxies or watching distant supernovas. It lies deeper. It involves our very selves. | 108 |
| Teju Cole | Lyrical poetry is not a big part of most people's lives. Twitter now becomes an interesting way of getting cared for language into people's space. Because there is something deep inside of us that responds to cared for language, whether it's literary, poetry, or really good lyrics in a song. | 108 |
| Annabelle Selldorf | I make spaces that are calm rather than confrontational. I seek a certain kind of logic that allows you to move in space and perceive it as beautiful and rational. Clarity is a worthwhile quality. | 108 |
| Burt Rutan | By 1931, after a few years' experience of flying scheduled airlines, those planes were operating at roughly 600 times the safety of the space shuttle. I look at safety not in terms of fatalities per passenger-mile, but when you get in and close the door, what is the risk of dying on this flight? | 108 |
| Donald E. Westlake | Sorry; I have no space left for advice. Just do it. | 108 |
| John Darnielle | It's like fiction - the fact that somebody's telling you a story about people who didn't exist doesn't make the experience of the story any less real in your heart and mind. You go through heavy emotional responses to these stories, and wrestling is a similar thing - but it's happening in real space. | 108 |
| Laurel Clark | It's such a long mission and we get to spend so much time in space... we're doing such exciting research. And I don't want to overemphasize the life science research, but as a physician the life science research that we're doing is extremely exciting. | 108 |
| Rusty Schweickart | We have the capability - physically, technically - to protect the Earth from asteroid impacts. We are now able to very slightly and subtly reshape the solar system in order to enhance human survival. | 108 |
| Stewart O'Nan | Growing up in the '60s and early '70s, with the space flight and the Apollo program, I always loved planes. I always loved rockets and I always loved space travel. | 108 |
| James Dashner | Don't ever let the other stuff get in the way of your inherent skills as a kick-butt storyteller. Move the reader, make them happy and sad and excited and scared. Make them stare into space after they've put the book down, thinking about the tale that's become a part of them. | 108 |
| Blaise Pascal | The eternal silence of these infinite spaces frightens me. | 109 |
| Simon Sinek | Starbucks was founded around the experience and the environment of their stores. Starbucks was about a space with comfortable chairs, lots of power outlets, tables and desks at which we could work and the option to spend as much time in their stores as we wanted without any pressure to buy. The coffee was incidental. | 109 |
| Nicolaus Copernicus | In so many and such important ways, then, do the planets bear witness to the earth's mobility. | 109 |
| Alain de Botton | On paper, being good sounds great but a lot depends on the atmosphere of the workplace or community we live in. We tend to become good or bad depending on the cues sent out within a particular space. | 109 |
| Buzz Aldrin | Whenever I gaze up at the moon, I feel like I'm on a time machine. I am back to that precious pinpoint of time, standing on the foreboding - yet beautiful - Sea of Tranquility. I could see our shining blue planet Earth poised in the darkness of space. | 109 |
| Chris Hadfield | Almost everything worthwhile carries with it some sort of risk, whether it's starting a new business, whether it's leaving home, whether it's getting married, or whether it's flying in space. | 109 |
| David Rockefeller | MoMA is doubling its space, and I decided to raise the money for it. | 109 |
| Douglas Brinkley | For years, I longed to hear Armstrong describe what it was like to contemplate Earth from 238,900 miles away. Former Space Center director George Abbey once told me that many NASA astronauts felt that looking at Earth was akin to a religious experience. | 109 |
| Giordano Bruno | Innumerable spirits and souls, when spread out through the same space, do not interfere with each other such that the diffusion of one would affect the diffusion of an infinity of others. | 109 |
| Jack London | I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. | 109 |
| Lucretius | Thus the sum of things is ever being reviewed, and mortals dependent one upon another. Some nations increase, others diminish, and in a short space the generations of living creatures are changed and like runners pass on the torch of life. | 109 |
| Renzo Piano | A piazza is not a plaza. The plaza is the theme park of the piazza; the plaza is the commercial version. A piazza is an empty space with no function. This is what Europeans understand. | 109 |
| Sally Ride | But even in elementary school and junior high, I was very interested in space and in the space program. | 109 |
| Seth Shostak | A factory that can turn carbon nanotubes into a sheet a yard wide and long enough to stretch one-fourth of the way to the moon is not something you'll find at your local industrial park. That's the show-stopper for the space elevator. The ribbon. | 109 |
| Stephen Gardiner | In Japanese art, space assumed a dominant role and its position was strengthened by Zen concepts. | 109 |
| Tadao Ando | If I can create some space that people haven't experienced before and if it stays with them or gives them a dream for the future, that's the kind of structure I seek to create. | 109 |
| Tom Bodett | I'm happy to report you still get nothing you don't need at Motel 6, and, therefore, you don't have to pay for it. I don't need valet parking. If I can drive the old crate 300 miles to the hotel all by myself, I can certainly handle the last nine feet to the parking space. | 109 |
| Valentina Tereshkova | 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? | 109 |
| Brian Blessed | I'm a fully trained cosmonaut and have completed 800 hours training, which has made me the No. 1 civilian reserve ready to visit the International Space Station. I am determined to go up, and I want to explore the Moon, Mars and beyond! | 109 |
| David Brinkley | This is the first convention of the space age - where a candidate can promise the moon and mean it. | 109 |
| James Surowiecki | Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, allowing us to do things more quickly and efficiently. But too often it seems to make things harder, leaving us with fifty-button remote controls, digital cameras with hundreds of mysterious features and book-length manuals, and cars with dashboard systems worthy of the space shuttle. | 109 |
| John Berger | A cigarette is a breathing space. It makes a parenthesis. The time of a cigarette is a parenthesis, and if it is shared, you are both in that parenthesis. It's like a proscenium arch for a dialogue. | 109 |
| Ruth Reichl | I'm convinced that the main reason we've become so obsessed with restaurants is due to our basic need to get out of virtual space and into a real one. We're not going out to eat merely to share food; we're there to sit at the same table together, slow down, breathe the same air. | 109 |
| Susan George | Now we are flying off into outer space, there is no clear curb on what can be done in the name of the economy. | 109 |
| Alice Dreger | Conjoined twins simply may not need sex-romance partners as much as the rest of us do. Throughout time and space, they have described their condition as something like being attached to a soul mate. | 109 |
| Allen Klein | Humor does not diminish the pain - it makes the space around it get bigger. | 109 |
| Anthony Holden | I think her friends were worried that the bulimia might come back, about some psychological slide, and she was given breathing space to some extent by the media as much as she ever has been. | 109 |
| Kip Thorne | A big misconception is that a black hole is made of matter that has just been compacted to a very small size. That's not true. A black hole is made from warped space and time. | 109 |
| Bob Filner | To all the women that I've offended, I had no intention to be offensive, to violate any physical or emotional space. I was trying to establish personal relationships, but the combination of awkwardness and hubris led to behavior that I think many found offensive. | 109 |
| Christa McAuliffe | I cannot join the space program and restart my life as an astronaut, but this opportunity to connect my abilities as an educator with my interests in history and space is a unique opportunity to fulfill my early fantasies. | 109 |
| Lacey Chabert | We did a remake of Lost in Space. Filmed it in London for four months. | 109 |
| Adam Braun | While many in the social enterprise space often qualify themselves as 'non-profit,' these organizations should instead treat themselves as 'for-purpose.' These organizations should focus on their mission to create social good, while still treating themselves with the same commitment to rigor and discipline as the best for-profits. | 109 |
| John L. Phillips | I think it's going to be a very important, unique data set in terms of measuring the behavior of your lower body in space and trying to figure out what we can do to preserve bone and muscle density. | 109 |
| David Bowie | Tony Visconti and I had been wanting to work together again for a few years now. Both of us had fairly large commitments and for a long time we couldn't see a space in which we could get anything together. | 110 |
| Stephen Hawking | Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out. | 110 |
| Ric Flair | Space Mountain may be the oldest ride in the park, but it has the longest line. | 110 |
| bell hooks | We judge on the basis of what somebody looks like, skin color, whether we think they're beautiful or not. That space on the Internet allows you to converse with somebody with none of those things involved. | 110 |
| Kara Walker | I trust my hand. If I go into a space with a roll of paper, I can make a work, some kind of work, and feel pretty satisfied. | 110 |
| Maimonides | Now, we occupy a lowly position, both in space and rank in comparison with the heavenly sphere, and the Almighty is Most High not in space, but with respect to absolute existence, greatness and power. | 110 |
| Nayvadius Cash | My obsession with outer space is my way of being different. I make astronaut music. It takes an astronaut so long to get to space - that's how long it takes to catch up on my music. | 110 |
| Orson Pratt | Each atom of the Holy Spirit is intelligent, and like all other matter has solidity, form, and size, and occupies space. | 110 |
| Valentina Tereshkova | 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. | 110 |
| Yayoi Kusama | It doesn't matter at all for me that I work in hospital or anywhere with limited space. Every day, I'm creating new works with all my might. | 110 |
| Darell Hammond | It's absolutely crucial that every child-serving organization - be it an elementary school, daycare, or community center - provide its children with time and space to play. | 110 |
| Jose Saramago | The novel is not so much a literary genre, but a literary space, like a sea that is filled by many rivers. | 110 |
| Lynn Margulis | There is no scientific reason to think that we, even with space travel, are going to survive as a species for ever, certainly not by biting off the hand that feeds us, which is exactly what we are doing. | 110 |
| Michael Dirda | In truth, my Anglophilia is fundamentally bookish: I yearn for one of those country house libraries, lined on three walls with mahogany bookshelves, their serried splendor interrupted only by enough space to display, above the fireplace, a pair of crossed swords or sculling oars and perhaps a portrait of some great English worthy. | 110 |
| Srikumar Rao | If you have an ongoing relationship with a person, think of everything positive about that person that you possibly can and enter your interaction from that space. Ignore all the crap that used to drive you up the wall before. You will be amazed at what a change this attitude shift brings about. | 110 |
| Tom Shales | Tom Snyder was born to broadcast. He loved television and it loved him back. In that, he was a member of a vanishing breed, especially as narrowcasting displaces broadcasting, 'online' replaces 'on the air,' and any Tom, Dick or Mary can be monarch of a desktop domain, uplinking themselves to satellites in space. | 110 |
| Wilson Greatbatch | Rocket scientists agree that we have about reached the limit of our ability to travel in space using chemical rockets. To achieve anything near the speed of light we will need a new energy source and a new propellant. Nuclear fission is not an option. | 110 |
| Akon | I always try to give my own albums space in between so I have time to create a new sound and give time for people to miss me. You have to come out fresh and reinvent yourself. | 110 |
| John Glenn | In the old days, the Soviets were using space as a selling point for communism. | 110 |
| Laurel Clark | Gravity pulls our bodily fluids down, like water in a glass goes to the bottom part of a glass. In space, the water doesn't stay in the bottom of the glass. It distributes itself evenly over time throughout the entire volume of the glass. | 110 |
| Christa McAuliffe | Space is going to be commonplace. | 110 |
| Jane Campion | Because there is that sort of feeling that people don't know what to do with gaps in their lives. It's a scary notion, but actually, if you can stand in space just for a little while, a new door will open, or you'll be able to see in the dark after a while. You'll adjust. | 110 |
| Mark Rothko | And last, it may be worthwhile trying to hang something beyond the partial wall because some of the pictures do very well in a confined space. | 110 |
| Randy Quaid | Now with the Internet, a celebrity is fair game, and it's all designed to sell advertising space. | 110 |
| Jim Fowler | The most powerful argument of all for saving open space is economics; in most states, tourism is the number two industry. | 110 |
| John Yarmuth | When your voice contradicts reality and truth, the only way to create space for it is to discredit reality and truth. | 110 |
| Marilyn Monroe | The real lover is the man who can thrill you just by touching your head or smiling into your eyes - or just by staring into space. | 111 |
| Dan Quayle | For NASA, space is still a high priority. | 111 |
| Margaret Atwood | Sooner or later, I hate to break it to you, you're gonna die, so how do you fill in the space between here and there? It's yours. Seize your space. | 111 |
| Sylvia Plath | Poetry, I feel, is a tyrannical discipline. You've got to go so far so fast in such a small space; you've got to burn away all the peripherals. | 111 |
| Adam Schiff | Unless action is taken soon - unless we can display the same vision of that earlier period - we will lose the treasure of California's open space and environmental beauty. | 111 |
| Aishwarya Rai Bachchan | Strangely, nothing makes me feel tired, fatigued, at all. I've gone days and nights without sleep, and still the mind is in such a positive space it just doesn't make you feel fatigued. | 111 |
| Andy Serkis | When I was in theater I was forever trying to inhabit a space which puts yourself under the microscope as an actor and your personality and your take on life, but actually through another portal of a character. | 111 |
| Barry Ritholtz | I credit Google for having the foresight to identify threats to its main business of selling advertising against search results. The potential loss of market share in the mobile space led them to the Android acquisition. | 111 |
| Bill Bryson | An awful lot of England is slowly eroding, in ways that I find really distressing, and an awful lot of it is the hedgerows... We're reaching the point where a lot of the English countryside looks just like Iowa - just kind of open space. | 111 |
| Billy Connolly | I don't believe in angels, no. But I do have a wee parking angel. It's on my dashboard and you wind it up. The wings flap and it's supposed to give you a parking space. It's worked so far. | 111 |
| Buzz Aldrin | There may be aliens in our Milky Way galaxy, and there are billions of other galaxies. The probability is almost certain that there is life somewhere in space. | 111 |
| Caroline Kennedy | I feel that my father's greatest legacy was the people he inspired to get involved in public service and their communities, to join the Peace Corps, to go into space. And really that generation transformed this country in civil rights, social justice, the economy and everything. | 111 |
| Chris Hadfield | There are no wishy-washy astronauts. You don't get up there by being uncaring and blase. And whatever gave you the sense of tenacity and purpose to get that far in life is absolutely reaffirmed and deepened by the experience itself. | 111 |
| David Hockney | What I didn't know was I was deeply attracted to the big space. | 111 |
| David Lee Roth | It doesn't matter the kind of music, it doesn't matter whether it's a cowboy hat or a yarmulke. I don't care if it's outer space or pop, the spirit is the same. | 111 |
| George Harrison | We were talking about the space between us all and the people who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion. Never glimpse the truth - then it's far too late when they pass away. | 111 |
| James E. Faust | We are bombarded on all sides by a vast number of messages we don't want or need. More information is generated in a single day than we can absorb in a lifetime. To fully enjoy life, all of us must find our own breathing space and peace of mind. | 111 |
| Mike Birbiglia | Starbucks is the last public space with chairs. It's a shower for homeless people. And it's a place you can write all day. The baristas don't glare at you. They don't even look at you. | 111 |
| Paul Davies | Astronauts have been stuck in low-Earth orbit, boldly going nowhere. American attempts to kick-start a new phase of lunar exploration have stalled amid the realisation that NASA's budget is too small for the job. | 111 |
| Valentina Tereshkova | 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. | 111 |
| Xavi | There are a lot of teams that don't want to play, that only want to defend against Barcelona, and that makes it difficult. We're always looking for the open space. A lot of times we'll face six defenders and four midfielders. | 111 |
| Amy Sedaris | Sometimes, to keep things exciting, I decorate my house as if I owned a child. I'll toss a tiny pair of shoes in the hallway or lean small wooden crutches in what I refer to as 'the baby's room,' which is actually a tiny space where I make things. I continue to call it the baby's room because it confuses people and it's creepy. | 111 |
| Arthur Erickson | Space has always been the spiritual dimension of architecture. It is not the physical statement of the structure so much as what it contains that moves us. | 111 |
| August Wilson | I write for myself, and my goal is bringing that world and that experience of black Americans to life on the stage and giving it a space there. | 111 |
| Mae Jemison | Some people say they feel very small when they think about space. I felt more expansive, very connected to the universe. | 111 |
| Martin Rees | Ironically, it is only when disaster strikes that the shuttle makes the headlines. Its routine flights attracted less media interest than unmanned probes to the planets or the images from the Hubble Telescope. The fate of Columbia (like that of Challenger in 1986) reminded us that space is still a hazardous environment. | 111 |
| Peter Zumthor | I work a little bit like a sculptor. When I start, my first idea for a building is with the material. I believe architecture is about that. It's not about paper, it's not about forms. It's about space and material. | 111 |
| Soledad O'Brien | Our goal is to tell people about the International Space Station. I think very rarely people look up 250 miles and think, What are those guys working on, what are those men and women doing at this moment... They're living and doing regular things, but also doing incredible work as well. We really want to bring that to people. | 111 |
| Candice Olson | We're a very active family, and I like everything in its place. I'm all about designing every little space. It will help me in the business of being a mom. Every single day is so crazy with my work that I just need to be able to come home and do that business as efficiently as I try to do my professional work. | 111 |
| Rem Koolhaas | We felt it was very important for an entity like CCTV to make its presence felt... To generate a space and to define a space, that is the main thing. | 111 |
| Christa McAuliffe | If I can get some student interested in science, if I can show members of the general public what's going on up there in the space program, then my job's been done. | 111 |
| Daniel Libeskind | Well, I think one doesn't really have to invent this memorial space, because it is already there. And it is speaking with a voice and, you know, 4 million of us came to see the site. | 111 |
| Max Beckmann | I think only of objects: of a leg or an arm, of the wonderful sense of foreshortening, breaking through the plane, of the division of space, of the combination of straight lines in relation to curved ones. | 111 |
| Chris Hadfield | Space is not a good place to mix foods because as soon as you take something out of the package, it becomes a flying object. | 112 |
| David Blunkett | I believe Britishness is defined not on ethnic and exclusive grounds but through shared values; our history of tolerance, openness and internationalism; and our commitment to democracy and liberty, to civic duty and the public space. | 112 |
| David Duchovny | I love the ocean, wide-open space and trees, but I'm not a gardener or anything like that. I think I may be, eventually. I was raised in the city, so I don't have that skill set, but my heart is more with the dirt than the concrete. It's an unrequited love with nature - a one-way love affair. | 112 |
| Ellen Ochoa | I'll tell you, being involved in human space flight, it is an emotional endeavor. I think it brings in the highest highs and the lowest lows. | 112 |
| Gary Oldman | I'm not the best audience for that because I'm not a great science-fiction fan. I just never got off on space ships and space costumes, things like that. | 112 |
| George Will | I suppose there's a melancholy tone at the back of the American mind, a sense of something lost. And it's the lost world of Thomas Jefferson. It is the lost sense of innocence that we could live with a very minimal state, with a vast sense of space in which to work out freedom. | 112 |
| Hanna Rosin | The launch of a space shuttle can still make you weep with amazement and wonder, if you happen to be watching it. | 112 |
| Neil Armstrong | I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It's by the nature of his deep inner soul... we're required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream. | 112 |
| Peter Steele | It seems to be that southern Europeans are just more intimate socially, whereas I like a lot of personal space - like, a mile from the nearest person is fine for me. | 112 |
| Rebecca Solnit | More and more I think of privatisation as being not just about the takeover of resources and power by corporate interests, but as the retreat of citizens to private life and private space, screened from solidarity with strangers and increasingly afraid or even unable to imagine acting in public. | 112 |
| Seth Godin | Kickstarter eliminates the risk that publishers and booksellers face. They have limited resources and limited shelf space, and Kickstarter is proof to them that something is going to work. | 112 |
| Seth Shostak | The principal reason for the universe's poker face is that its constituents are far away. Stars careen through space, and galaxies spin at speeds thousands of times faster than a jet plane. But given their distance, you'd need the patience of Job to notice much change in their appearance or position. | 112 |
| Tom Ford | I grew up in New Mexico, and the older I get, I have less need for contemporary culture and big cities and all the stuff we are bombarded with. I am happier at my ranch in the middle of nowhere watching a bug carry leaves across the grass, listening to silence, riding my horse, and being in open space. | 112 |
| Tom Hodgkinson | When walking, you see things that you miss in a motor car or on the train. You give your mind space to ponder. | 112 |
| William S. Burroughs | After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say 'I want to see the manager.' | 112 |
| Alan Bean | We knew it was going to be difficult to get to the moon. We didn't know how difficult. | 112 |
| Alfonso Cuaron | A lot of the films I like are more than fantasies - they're movies fascinated by the technology of space exploration, and they try to honor the laws of physics. I watched the Gregory Peck movie 'Marooned' over and over when I was a kid. | 112 |
| Bootsy Collins | It's a whole other ball game and I am glad that I fit into that space where, whatever it is that you want to do and you are doing as long as you are happy with it, then you know What the Heck! | 112 |
| Dave Eggers | So this is the space during tutoring hours. It's very busy. Same principles: one-on-one attention, complete devotion to the students' work and a boundless optimism and sort of a possibility of creativity and ideas. | 112 |
| Freddy Adu | I wanted to get us a place of our own with a little bit more space. The kitchen is just huge, because my mom... lives there, man, and she loves being in the kitchen. | 112 |
| Sean Bean | Lord of the Rings was just so much enjoyment. It was over about the space of a year that I was filming. It's one of the most enjoyable things I've ever done, so emotional. | 112 |
| Ace Frehley | I'll get up there and I'll do my guitar solos in one of those space outfits. | 112 |
| Candice Olson | Today's kitchen is all about a well-planned space that makes cooking a completely interactive experience among family and friends. | 112 |
| Laurel Clark | The microgravity or the very, very low amount of gravity that we have up in space forces some changes in different processes. It forces changes in us as human beings. | 112 |
| Pat Buckley | I believe that there may be intelligent life on other planets. | 112 |
| Ralph Merkle | One of the things that we can say with confidence is that we will have much lighter, much stronger materials, and this will reduce the cost of air flight, and the cost of rockets. | 112 |
| Christa McAuliffe | I will go around the space shuttle and give a guided tour of the major areas and describe what is done in each area. This will be called The Ultimate Field Trip. | 112 |
| Jaime Lerner | Many cities end up putting off things because they want to understand everything. They don't understand that innovating is about starting. Taking care of a city is a process that you start, and then give the population space to respond. | 112 |
| Randy Quaid | I just always wanted to be left alone to go into a creative space. | 112 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | I was transformed by picking up a pair of binoculars and looking up, and that's hard to do for a city kid because when you look up you just see buildings - and really, your first thought is to look in people's windows. So to look out of the space - out of living space - and look up to the sky, binoculars go far, literally and figuratively. | 113 |
| Adam Sandler | Doing Saturday Night Live definitely affects my relationship with my girlfriend and with my family, because you feel so much pressure to do well that night. But I think everyone's grown to accept that and so they give me my space at the show. | 113 |
| Brian Greene | String theory envisions a multiverse in which our universe is one slice of bread in a big cosmic loaf. The other slices would be displaced from ours in some extra dimension of space. | 113 |
| Daisaku Ikeda | People need to be made conscious of a very simple reality: we have no choice but to share this planet, this small blue sphere floating in the vast reaches of space, with all of our fellow 'passengers.' | 113 |
| David Hockney | I had always planned to make a large painting of the early spring, when the first leaves are at the bottom of the trees, and they seem to float in space in a wonderful way. But the arrival of spring can't be done in one picture. | 113 |
| Gisele Bundchen | Sometimes siblings can get in each other's space. | 113 |
| Larry David | Most people are completely unaware of their breath. They violate your space, they have no idea that they have halitosis. | 113 |
| Samuel L. Jackson | I'm not as angry as I used to be. But I can get in touch with that anger pretty quickly if I feel my space is being invaded or somebody is not treating me with the respect that I think I want. | 113 |
| Valentina Tereshkova | If women can be railroad workers in Russia, why can't they fly in space? | 113 |
| Vanna Bonta | Sex in space is not just a good idea, it's survival. | 113 |
| Antony Gormley | I used to think that the great thing about sculpture was that, like Stonehenge, it was something that stood against time in an adamantine way, and was an absolute mass in space. Now I try to use the language of architecture to redescribe the body as a place. | 113 |
| Chuck Yeager | In 1966, NASA took over in space, and it has been a bureaucratic mess ever since. | 113 |
| Ed Rendell | Growing Greener doesn't produce money for farmland preservation or open space preservation. | 113 |
| Eugene Cernan | I do believe there is life in outer space. Mathematically, there has to be, and if you believe as I do that there is a creator of the universe, then how can we be so arrogant to believe he created life here and nowhere else? | 113 |
| Henry Spencer | Supplying fuel for a Mars expedition from the lunar surface is often suggested, but it's hard to make it pay off - Moon bases are expensive, and just buying more rockets to launch fuel from Earth is relatively cheap. | 113 |
| J. Michael Straczynski | A lot of the futuristic space stuff seemed to me to be a very cool form of science-fiction, so that was my first real baptism in the genre. | 113 |
| Leonard Susskind | You have to say now that space is something. Space can vibrate, space can fluctuate, space can be quantum mechanical, but what the devil is it? | 113 |
| Martin Rees | The bedrock nature of space and time and the unification of cosmos and quantum are surely among science's great 'open frontiers.' These are parts of the intellectual map where we're still groping for the truth - where, in the fashion of ancient cartographers, we must still inscribe 'here be dragons.' | 113 |
| Sarah Parcak | When you think about the scale of human populations all over the world and the fact that there's so much here, really, the only way to be able to visualize that is to pull back in space... It allows us to see hidden temples and tombs and pyramids and even entire settlements. | 113 |
| Burt Rutan | We need affordable space travel to inspire our youth, to let them know that they can experience their dreams, can set significant goals and be in a position to lead all of us to future progress in exploration, discovery and fun. Thanks to the X Prize for the inspiration. | 113 |
| Shreya Ghoshal | I'd say, for me, it's cooking that gives me a space beyond music. I love food. And somehow, music and food go together so well. Cooking is very therapeutic. That preparation, the fragrance of spices, the wafting aromas - it just sweeps aside my depression, tiredness and name what you may. | 113 |
| Story Musgrave | I would have taken whatever hand I was dealt. Space was it. | 113 |
| James Chanos | It's very difficult in the technology space when you have been leapfrogged to prosper again. | 113 |
| Hillary Clinton | In almost every profession - whether it's law or journalism, finance or medicine or academia or running a small business - people rely on confidential communications to do their jobs. We count on the space of trust that confidentiality provides. When someone breaches that trust, we are all worse off for it. | 114 |
| Richard Dawkins | We humans are an extremely important manifestation of the replication bomb, because it is through us - through our brains, our symbolic culture and our technology - that the explosion may proceed to the next stage and reverberate through deep space. | 114 |
| Neil Gaiman | A library is a place that is a repository of information and gives every citizen equal access to it. That includes health information. And mental health information. It's a community space. It's a place of safety, a haven from the world. | 114 |
| Alfred Russel Wallace | In my solitude I have pondered much on the incomprehensible subjects of space, eternity, life and death. | 114 |
| Carl Friedrich Gauss | We must admit with humility that, while number is purely a product of our minds, space has a reality outside our minds, so that we cannot completely prescribe its properties a priori. | 114 |
| Kara Walker | The promise of any artwork is that it can hold us - viewer and maker - in a conflicted or contestable space, without real-world injury or loss. | 114 |
| Roy H. Williams | According to String Theory, what appears to be empty space is actually a tumultuous ocean of strings vibrating at the precise frequencies that create the 4 dimensions you and I call height, width, depth and time. | 114 |
| A. R. Rahman | It's true that I love to connect with my fans on the social networking sites, but I try not to go overboard, ever. I just give people a peek into my mind space, but never bombard them with my tweets. | 114 |
| Colm Toibin | The novel space is a pure space. I'm nobody once I go into that room. I'm not gay, I'm not bald, I'm not Irish. I'm not anybody. I'm nobody. I'm the guy telling the story, and the only person that matters is the person reading that story, the target. It's to get that person to feel what I'm trying to dramatize. | 114 |
| J. Michael Straczynski | When you're writing a story in bits and pieces, month in and month out, there really isn't time or space for reflection, no room to learn what those scripts had to teach you. | 114 |
| James Lovelock | We'd never have got a chance to go outside and look at the earth if it hadn't been for space exploration and NASA. | 114 |
| Martin Rees | Space and time may have a structure as intricate as the fauna of a rich ecosystem, but on a scale far larger than the horizon of our observations. | 114 |
| Richard Jefferies | The heart looks into space to be away from earth. | 114 |
| Robert Lanza | Space and time, not proteins and neurons, hold the answer to the problem of consciousness. When we consider the nerve impulses entering the brain, we realize that they are not woven together automatically, any more than the information is inside a computer. | 114 |
| Walter Lang | Scripture suggests that the elements in space were created for the benefit of earth, while evolution suggests that earth is an insignificant speck in vast space. | 114 |
| Story Musgrave | Most of our history in space has been communicated in terms of action - what people do, a chronological list of events which have transpired - as opposed to the human experience of having done those things. | 114 |
| Carl Sagan | Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people. | 115 |
| Brian Greene | Every moment is as real as every other. Every 'now,' when you say, 'This is the real moment,' is as real as every other 'now' - and therefore all the moments are just out there. Just as every location in space is out there, I think every moment in time is out there, too. | 115 |
| Liam Neeson | I always wanted to be a cowboy, and Jedi Knights are basically cowboys in space, right? | 115 |
| Louis Kahn | Architecture is the thoughtful making of space. | 115 |
| Nancy Reagan | You learn something out of everything, and you come to realize more than ever that we're all here for a certain space of time, and, and then it's going to be over, and you better make this count. | 115 |
| Naveen Jain | As a young boy growing up in rural India, most of what I knew of the world was what I could see around me. But each night, I would look at the Moon - it was impossibly far away, yet it held a special attraction because it allowed me to dream beyond my village and country, and think about the rest of the world and space. | 115 |
| Oscar Niemeyer | There is no reason to design buildings that are more basic and rectilinear, because with concrete you can cover almost any space. | 115 |
| Rebecca Solnit | As I started to pursue the subject more deeply I realized that walking was this wonderful meandering path through everything I was already interested in - gender politics, public space and urban life, demonstrations and parades and marches. The relationship between walking and thinking and between the mind and the body. | 115 |
| Sally Ride | On a standard space shuttle crew, two of the astronauts have a test pilot background - the commander and the pilot. | 115 |
| Valentina Tereshkova | I would not say that female cosmonauts are not welcomed in the Russian space program. I must say, however, that all spaceflight hardware, including spacesuits and spacecraft comfort assuring systems, were designed mostly by men and for men. | 115 |
| Rachel Cusk | If I know somebody is coming 'round, it is incredibly difficult for me to work because I'm waiting for this interruption - even the children's comings and goings are interruptions. Cake-making is a good way of coming out of that space. | 115 |
| Rebecca West | Journalism: an ability to meet the challenge of filling the space. | 115 |
| Laurel Clark | Life science research can be done on multiple platforms. Since we have a very small number of people flying into space, the more people you have, the better. | 115 |
| James Fenton | This is what rhyme does. In a couplet, the first rhyme is like a question to which the second rhyme is an answer. The first rhyme leaves something in the air, some unanswered business. In most quatrains, space is created between the rhyme that poses the question and the rhyme that gives the answer - it is like a pleasure deferred. | 115 |
| Marc Newson | I have a lot of objects in my space, little things, reminders, memories. | 115 |
| Rusty Schweickart | It would take an extremely large spacecraft to deflect a large asteroid that would be headed directly for the Earth. | 115 |
| Deepak Chopra | People need to know that they have all the tools within themselves. Self-awareness, which means awareness of their body, awareness of their mental space, awareness of their relationships - not only with each other, but with life and the ecosystem. | 116 |
| Ariel Sharon | A day will come when other Israelis will be launched into space in the service of science and progress. For them and for us, Ilan Ramon will always be a source of inspiration as Israel's space pioneer, and his memory will be engraved in our hearts forever. | 116 |
| Buzz Aldrin | I've led a life of such structured discipline and always had a goal in mind of knowing what I was doing, from West Point to the Air Force combat, MIT, looking for new things to study and get involved in. And then I got into the space program, and how disciplined can you get? | 116 |
| Carl Sandburg | The moon is a friend for the lonesome to talk to. | 116 |
| Chris Hadfield | And then finally, I'm the commander, so I am fundamentally responsible for the lives of the other people on board and the health and longevity of the space station. I need to bring six people back happy, healthy and feeling like they've had the best six months of their life. | 116 |
| David Chang | The Momofuku Culinary Lab started as a space where we could focus on creating and innovating. I didn't want us to worry about working on projects in a restaurant; there are just too many distractions in service and running a kitchen to be able to focus on creating your dishes. | 116 |
| Ellen Ochoa | Astronauts are very professional and when they're preparing for launch, they prepare for it as the most serious endeavor of our lives. | 116 |
| Jeff Bridges | The more space and emptiness you can create in yourself, then you can let the rest of the world come in and fill you up. | 116 |
| Karl Jaspers | Reason is like an open secret that can become known to anyone at any time; it is the quiet space into which everyone can enter through his own thought. | 116 |
| Michio Kaku | Consciousness-one level is understanding where we are in space. Consciousness two is where we understand our position in society: who's top dog, who's underdog and who's in the middle. And type-three consciousness is simulating the future. And type-three consciousness, only humans have this ability to see far into the future. | 116 |
| Nathan Myhrvold | We collectively have a special place in our heart for the manned space flight program - Apollo nostalgia is one element, but that is only part of it. American culture worships explorers - look at the fame of Lewis and Clark, for example. The American people want to think of themselves as supporting exploration. | 116 |
| Neil Armstrong | The important achievement of Apollo was demonstrating that humanity is not forever chained to this planet and our visions go rather further than that and our opportunities are unlimited. | 116 |
| Ram Dass | If I go into the place in myself that is love, and you go into the place in yourself that is love, we are together in love. Then you and I are truly in love, the state of being love. That's the entrance to Oneness. That's the space I entered when I met my guru. | 116 |
| Sally Ride | The fact that I was going to be the first American woman to go into space carried huge expectations along with it. | 116 |
| Shigeru Miyamoto | There's definitely space for uniqueness in a home console. | 116 |
| Valentina Tereshkova | A bird cannot fly with one wing only. Human space flight cannot develop any further without the active participation of women. | 116 |
| Dominic Monaghan | I used to get quite upset that I'd make friends with a guy or a girl and then within the space of three years we'd move and go and live somewhere else, and you'd have to say goodbye to that person. | 116 |
| Jared Diamond | Lest those islands still seem to you too remote in space and time to be relevant to our modern societies, just think about the risks... of our increasing globalization and increasing worldwide economic interdependence. | 116 |
| Jon Meacham | If heaven is understood more as God's space on earth than as an ethereal region apart from the essential reality we know, then what happens on earth matters even more than we think, for the Christian life becomes a continuation of the unfolding work of Jesus, who will one day return to set the world to rights. | 116 |
| Martin Rees | Maybe the search for life shouldn't restrict attention to planets like Earth. Science fiction writers have other ideas: balloon-like creatures floating in the dense atmospheres of planets such as Jupiter, swarms of intelligent insects, nano-scale robots and more. | 116 |
| Michael Shermer | A Hubble Space Telescope photograph of the universe evokes far more awe for creation than light streaming through a stained glass window in a cathedral. | 116 |
| Jesse Tyler Ferguson | Me being a shy kid, very closed off, showing vulnerability in a character was sort of a safe space on stage. It's always been in my toolbox, there for me when I need it. | 116 |
| Clyde Tombaugh | I used to think about how nice it would be to visit the planets. Of course, I didn't expect to see in my lifetime what has happened. I knew it would happen some day, but it came along faster than I at first thought. | 116 |
| John Muir | Trees go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far! | 117 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | Space exploration is a force of nature unto itself that no other force in society can rival. | 117 |
| Nikola Tesla | The feeling is constantly growing on me that I had been the first to hear the greeting of one planet to another. | 117 |
| Will Smith | I know how to learn anything I want to learn. I absolutely know that I could learn how to fly the space shuttle because someone else knows how to fly it, and they put it in a book. Give me the book, and I do not need somebody to stand up in front of the class. | 117 |
| Bill Nye | There is good evidence that Venus once had liquid water and a much thinner atmosphere, similar to Earth billions of years ago. But today the surface of Venus is dry as a bone, hot enough to melt lead, there are clouds of sulfuric acid that reach a hundred miles high and the air is so thick it's like being 900 meters deep in the ocean. | 117 |
| Brian Greene | Relativity challenges your basic intuitions that you've built up from everyday experience. It says your experience of time is not what you think it is, that time is malleable. Your experience of space is not what you think it is; it can stretch and shrink. | 117 |
| Buzz Aldrin | We must still think of ourselves as pioneers to understand the importance of space. | 117 |
| Charles Lamb | Nothing puzzles me more than the time and space; and yet nothing troubles me less. | 117 |
| Chinua Achebe | The people you see in Nigeria today have always lived as neighbors in the same space for as long as we can remember. So it's a matter of settling down, lowering the rhetoric, the level of hostility in the rhetoric is too high. | 117 |
| David Lynch | Everyone is on the internet but they're not all talking with each other. There are groups upon groups out there, but they don't talk to one another. So while the internet brings everyone into a shared space, it does not necessarily bring them together. | 117 |
| Martha Graham | To me, a building - if it's beautiful - is the love of one man, he's made it out of his love for space, materials, things like that. | 117 |
| Peter Diamandis | Space is an inspirational concept that allows you to dream big. | 117 |
| Philip K. Dick | The universe is information and we are stationary in it, not three dimensional and not in space or time. | 117 |
| Piet Mondrian | Things are beautiful or ugly only in time and space. The new man's vision being liberated from these two factors, all is unified in one unique beauty. | 117 |
| Ridley Scott | For 'Prometheus,' I came back to a very simple question that haunted me that appears in the first 'Alien,' and no one answered in subsequent Alien films: who was the 'Space Jockey' - the big guy in the seat? If you really go into that, it becomes the basis for a pretty interesting story. | 117 |
| Sally Ride | When you're getting ready to launch into space, you're sitting on a big explosion waiting to happen. | 117 |
| David R. Brower | It's like turning the space program over to the Long Island Railroad. | 117 |
| Elias Canetti | Success is the space one occupies in the newspaper. Success is one day's insolence. | 117 |
| Leonard Susskind | Space can vibrate, space can fluctuate, space can be quantum mechanical, but what the devil is it? And, you know, everybody has their own idea about what it is, but there's no coherent final consensus on why there is space. | 117 |
| Mary Roach | When someone tells me, 'Oh, we have so many problems on Earth; space exploration costs too much money,' I say, 'I absolutely agree with you. But I still hope we do it.' | 117 |
| Robert Lanza | I think the answer of course is that space and time are not these hard external objects. Again we're, scientists have been building from one side of nature (physics) without considering the other side (life in consciousness). Neither side exists without the other. They cannot be divorced from one another or else there is no reality. | 117 |
| John Desmond Bernal | As the scene of life would be more the cold emptiness of space than the warm, dense atmosphere of planets, the advantage of containing no organic material at all, so as to be independent of both these conditions, would be increasingly felt. | 117 |
| Carl Sagan | It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring. | 118 |
| David Icke | What we call the 'world' and the 'universe' is only one frequency range in an infinite number sharing the same space. The interdimensional entities I write about are able to move between these frequencies or dimensions and manipulate our lives. | 118 |
| Jean Piaget | From this time on, the universe is built up into an aggregate of permanent objects connected by causal relations that are independent of the subject and are placed in objective space and time. | 118 |
| Marcel Proust | Love is space and time measured by the heart. | 118 |
| Chris Hadfield | We have never lost a crew member on the space station, but of course, the Columbia accident. I was - I'd already been an astronaut for a decade when the crew of Columbia was killed. And I went through test pilot school. Rick Husband and I were out at Edwards at test pilot school together. He was the commander of Columbia. | 118 |
| Gabe Newell | I think Windows 8 is a catastrophe for everyone in the PC space. I think we'll lose some of the top-tier PC/OEMs, who will exit the market. I think margins will be destroyed for a bunch of people. | 118 |
| George Osborne | You really have to try hard to create space and, at least for a time, stop the political world from rushing in. The important thing is to remain sane. | 118 |
| Jackson Pollock | The modern artist is working with space and time, and expressing his feelings rather than illustrating. | 118 |
| Paul Johnson | Is there any possibility of giving international air travel, which we all need and use and hate, a touch of glamour, or even of reliable, soulless efficiency? I suspect future historians will puzzle over our failure. But by then, of course, we shall be in the age of mass space travel, with its fresh and unimaginable crop of horrors. | 118 |
| Richard Rogers | Architecture is about public space held by buildings. | 118 |
| Sally Ride | So most astronauts getting ready to lift off are excited and very anxious and worried about that explosion - because if something goes wrong in the first seconds of launch, there's not very much you can do. | 118 |
| Tim Berners-Lee | The original idea of the web was that it should be a collaborative space where you can communicate through sharing information. | 118 |
| Valentina Tereshkova | On Earth, men and women are taking the same risks. Why shouldn't we be taking the same risks in space? | 118 |
| Walter Lippmann | A long life in journalism convinced me many presidents ago that there should be a large air space between a journalist and the head of a state. | 118 |
| Wole Soyinka | Each time I think I've created time for myself, along comes a throwback to disrupt my private space. | 118 |
| Bat for Lashes | An album is a whole universe, and the recording studio is a three-dimensional kind of art space that I can fill with sound. Just as the album art and videos are ways of adding more dimensions to the words and music. I like to be involved in all of it because it's all of a piece. | 118 |
| Darell Hammond | Unstructured play gives kids the space they need to tinker and take risks - both vital for the budding entrepreneur. | 118 |
| Martin Rees | There are strong reasons for believing that space goes on beyond the limits of our observational horizon. There are strong reasons because if you look in opposite directions, conditions are the same to within one part in 100,000. So if we are part of some finite structure then, if the gradient is so shallow, it is likely to go on much further. | 118 |
| Robert Lanza | Sometime in the future, science will be able to create realities that we can't even begin to imagine. As we evolve, we'll be able to construct other information systems that correspond to other realities, universes based on logic completely different from ours and not based on space and time. | 118 |
| Jim Lee | The video game market is huge, and the ability to tell stories, and tell different kinds of stories in the gaming space is quickly evolving and changing for the better. | 118 |
| David Mackay | I watched the moon landing as a boy, and I thought that was the most exciting thing ever, going into space, orbiting Earth and exploring other planets. That looked fantastic. | 118 |
| Chris Hadfield | If you don't like airline food, you'll probably have the same impression of space station food. I would not fly to space for the food. | 119 |
| Kathleen Hanna | Since I loved underground music, I tried to carve a space for feminism within it. Those were my hopes. | 119 |
| Peter Diamandis | I don't think the space station is innovative. Going to the moon was innovative because we had no idea how to do it. | 119 |
| Steve Carell | In an enclosed space, a camel's breath can change the atmosphere of the room. Not only just the smell, they literally seem to change the atmospheric pressure. It's so disgusting. It's like they have eight stomachs each more rancid then the next and it just comes out of their mouth. | 119 |
| Gwynne Shotwell | I left Aerospace because I wanted to go build, and put spacecraft together. | 119 |
| Peter Zumthor | My buildings should have an emotional core - a space which, in itself, has an emotional nice feeling. | 119 |
| Elon Musk | In order for us to have a future that's exciting and inspiring, it has to be one where we're a space-bearing civilization. | 120 |
| Stephen Covey | Between stimulus and response, there is a space where we choose our response. | 120 |
| Alain de Botton | A city like London is sociable in a sense that there are people gathering in bars and restaurants, concerts and lectures. Yet you can partake of all these experiences and never say hello to anyone new. And one of the things that all religions do is take groups of strangers into a space and say it is OK to talk to each other. | 120 |
| Brian Greene | In the far, far future, essentially all matter will have returned to energy. But because of the enormous expansion of space, this energy will be spread so thinly that it will hardly ever convert back to even the lightest particles of matter. Instead, a faint mist of light will fall for eternity through an ever colder and quieter cosmos. | 120 |
| Buzz Aldrin | If we can conquer space, we can conquer childhood hunger. | 120 |
| Estelle | If there is enough space on radio for Busted and McFly, who are basically the same band, or for 50,000 versions of Stereophonics and Coldplay, there must be enough room for all of us. | 120 |
| John Milton | The stars, that nature hung in heaven, and filled their lamps with everlasting oil, give due light to the misled and lonely traveller. | 120 |
| Nate Berkus | In design-speak, 'a library' means a room lined with books, floor-to ceiling, but it all depends on the space you have. You may have a free-standing bookshelf of your favorite books if that's all you have room for. | 120 |
| Sally Ride | No, I think most astronauts recognize that the space shuttle program is very high-risk, and are prepared for accidents. | 120 |
| Tadao Ando | Spiritual space is lost in gaining convenience. I saw the need to create a mixture of Japanese spiritual culture and modern western architecture. | 120 |
| Temple Grandin | I think that autistic brains tend to be specialized brains. Autistic people tend to be less social. It takes a ton of processor space in the brain to have all the social circuits. | 120 |
| Tom DeLonge | Angels and Airwaves is a complete, pure reflection of who I am. The philosophy, the spiritualism, the esotericism, the idea of hope and space and the themes about life and grandeur... that's all me. | 120 |
| Eugene Cernan | After Apollo 17, America stopped looking towards the next horizon. The United States had become a space-faring nation, but threw it away. We have sacrificed space exploration for space exploitation, which is interesting but scarcely visionary. | 120 |
| Henry Spencer | The Orion capsule uses an escape system quite like that of the Apollo spacecraft in the 1960s and 70s: an 'escape tower' containing a solid-fuel rocket that will pull it up and away from Ares I in a pinch. | 120 |
| Peter Zumthor | I think space, architectural space, is my thing. It's not about facade, elevation, making image, making money. My passion is creating space. | 120 |
| William Blake | If the Sun and Moon should ever doubt, they'd immediately go out. | 121 |
| Chris Hadfield | The beauty of the space station, and of human spaceflight, is that it is now at a level of maturity where you can invite people on-board, which is what I worked so hard to do on social media and all the videos I made. | 121 |
| Douglas Rushkoff | In spite of my own reservations about Bing's ability to convert Google users, I have to admit that the search engine does offer a genuine alternative to Google-style browsing, a more coherently organized selection of links, and a more advertiser-friendly environment through which to sell space and links. | 121 |
| Harry Connick, Jr. | The two are unrelated. I'm not into turtles or space stuff. | 121 |
| Lilly Singh | There is no casting director; there is no producer monitoring your upload button. Anyone that looks like anyone can upload a video. I think YouTube and the digital space does set a really good example for the rest of the industry in that sense. | 121 |
| Pope Benedict XVI | A just laicism allows religious freedom. The state does not impose religion but rather gives space to religions with a responsibility toward civil society, and therefore it allows these religions to be factors in building up society. | 121 |
| Rose George | The Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS), which controls the living environment on shuttles and on the International Space Station, doesn't have the luxury of disposal: discharging trash into space has long been judged a bad idea. | 121 |
| Sally Ride | Yes, I did feel a special responsibility to be the first American woman in space. | 121 |
| Tadao Ando | I believe that architecture is fundamentally a public space where people can gather and communicate, think about the history, think about the lives of human beings, or the world. | 121 |
| Zaha Hadid | Architecture is how the person places herself in the space. Fashion is about how you place the object on the person. | 121 |
| Christine Lagarde | I have a theory that women are generally given space and appointed to jobs when the situation is tough. I've observed that in many instances. In times of crisis, women eventually are called upon to sort out the mess, face the difficult issues and be completely focused on restoring the situation. | 121 |
| Darell Hammond | Only one in five children in the U.S. lives within walking distance of a park. Many more lack access to a quality early childhood education that provides ample time and space to play. | 121 |
| Eugene Cernan | Some astronauts describe the routine flushing of urine into space, where the freezing temperatures turn the droplets into a cloud of bright, drifting crystals, as being among the most amazing sights they saw on an entire voyage. | 121 |
| James Lovelock | If it hadn't been for the Cold War, neither Russia nor America would have been sending people into space. | 121 |
| Martin Rees | We need to broaden our sympathies both in space and time - and perceive ourselves as part of a long heritage, and stewards for an immense future. | 121 |
| Robert Lanza | Without consciousness, space and time are nothing. | 121 |
| Bill Vaughan | Man is the animal that intends to shoot himself out into interplanetary space, after having given up on the problem of an efficient way to get himself five miles to work and back each day. | 121 |
| Douglas Adams | Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to space. | 122 |
| Barbara Kingsolver | What you lose in blindness is the space around you, the place where you are, and without that you might not exist. You could be nowhere at all. | 122 |
| Chris Hadfield | The International Space Station is a phenomenal laboratory, an unparalleled test bed for new invention and discovery. Yet I often thought, while silently gazing out the window at Earth, that the actual legacy of humanity's attempts to step into space will be a better understanding of our current planet and how to take care of it. | 122 |
| Kris Carr | Make space in your life, space for health and happiness. | 122 |
| Lewis Black | A father and two sons run Adelphia. It's a cable company. And they took from that company a billion dollars. A billion. Three people - three people took a billion dollars. What were they gonna do, start their own space program? 'Let's send the monkey to Mars, Dad!' | 122 |
| Ron Paul | Well, I don't think we should go to the moon. I think we maybe should send some politicians up there. | 122 |
| Ronaldinho | A lot of the moves I make originate from futsal. It's played in a very small space, and the ball control is different in futsal. And to this day my ball control is pretty similar to a futsal player's control. | 122 |
| Joanna Lumley | NASA space scientists have been studying giraffe skin so they can apply what they learn from it to the construction of spacesuits. | 122 |
| Iris Murdoch | Perhaps when distant people on other planets pick up some wavelength of ours all they hear is a continuous scream. | 123 |
| Fergie | There is so much to do in my house, in every little corner. It's just like anybody, it's like one step at a time. I try to decorate one space and a pipe breaks or whatever - you know how it is. | 123 |
| Duane G. Carey | Those folks out in the space suits are going to be getting beat up. | 123 |
| Ellen Stofan | We want to make sure we get living astronauts to the surface of Mars. | 123 |
| Leonard Susskind | Why is there space rather than no space? Why is space three-dimensional? Why is space big? We have a lot of room to move around in. How come it's not tiny? We have no consensus about these things. We're still exploring them. | 123 |
| Sarah Parcak | Imagery is powerful. Imagery is provocative - satellite imagery much more so because it is from space, and it allows us to get this perspective that we don't have to have otherwise. | 123 |
| Christa McAuliffe | NASA was going to pick a public school teacher to go into space, observe and make a journal about the space flight, and I am a teacher who always dreamed of going up into space. | 123 |
| Elon Musk | I would like to die on Mars. Just not on impact. | 124 |
| Isaac Newton | Absolute space, in its own nature, without regard to anything external, remains always similar and immovable. Relative space is some movable dimension or measure of the absolute spaces, which our senses determine by its position to bodies, and which is vulgarly taken for immovable space. | 124 |
| John Muir | When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty. | 124 |
| Bill Nye | I've always loved airplanes and flight. The space program was really important to me as a kid. I still have a photo of Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon in my living room. | 124 |
| Dave Matthews | I'm a bit of a caveman - I don't go out into the digital space very often. I lie facedown on the grass and count how many bugs I can find. | 124 |
| John Donne | But let them sleep, Lord, and me mourn a space. | 124 |
| Lawrence M. Krauss | Aside from communications satellites, space is devoid of industry. | 124 |
| Nate Berkus | In a modern loft, you can't just fill a space with furniture. Each piece has to be perfect. | 124 |
| Paul Rand | Graphic Design, which fulfills aesthetic needs, complies with the laws of form and exigencies of two-dimensional space; which speaks in semiotics, sans-serifs, and geometrics; which abstracts, transforms, translates, rotates, dilates, repeats, mirrors, groups, and regroups, is not good design if it is irrelevant. | 124 |
| Sally Ride | Then during the mission itself, I used the space shuttle's robot arm to release a satellite into orbit. | 124 |
| Shia LaBeouf | I'm a little territorial and defensive. I don't like having my space invaded. | 124 |
| William S. Burroughs | Man is an artifact designed for space travel. He is not designed to remain in his present biologic state any more than a tadpole is designed to remain a tadpole. | 124 |
| Gloria Steinem | A pedestal is as much a prison as any small, confined space. | 125 |
| Napoleon Bonaparte | The extent of your consciousness is limited only by your ability to love and to embrace with your love the space around you, and all it contains. | 125 |
| Eric Schmidt | The characteristic of great innovators and great companies is they see a space that others do not. They don't just listen to what people tell them; they actually invent something new, something that you didn't know you needed, but the moment you see it, you say, 'I must have it.' | 125 |
| Helena Bonham Carter | In any relationship, after the first year is over, you can't help but want your own space. | 125 |
| Hideo Kojima | In any game, you have an enemy coming at yourself that you have to shoot. If you go back to 'Space Invaders,' they shoot at you when they come at you, so how are you going to protect yourself? You're going to shoot, and that is a typical videogame. | 125 |
| Mikhail Gorbachev | Imagine a country that flies into space, launches Sputniks, creates such a defense system, and it can't resolve the problem of women's pantyhose. There's no toothpaste, no soap powder, not the basic necessities of life. It was incredible and humiliating to work in such a government. | 125 |
| Rick Riordan | If the parents are too busy to read, it's a safe bet the children will feel the same way. Set aside time for family reading each night. It doesn't matter so much what the kids read, as long as you provide them space for reading and a sense that it is a valuable part of your daily routine. | 125 |
| James Chanos | There's almost 70 billion in square feet under construction in high rises in commercial, residential and light manufacturing. And we estimate about 30 billion square feet, and that's with a 'B,' is commercial, that we would just consider office space. To put that in perspective, that's a 5x5-foot cubicle for every man, woman and child in China. | 125 |
| Elon Musk | I think we are at the dawn of a new era in commercial space exploration. | 126 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | Do you realize that if you fall into a black hole, you will see the entire future of the Universe unfold in front of you in a matter of moments and you will emerge into another space-time created by the singularity of the black hole you just fell into? | 126 |
| Nicolaus Copernicus | The earth together with its surrounding waters must in fact have such a shape as its shadow reveals, for it eclipses the moon with the arc of a perfect circle. | 126 |
| Arthur C. Clarke | Perhaps, as some wit remarked, the best proof that there is Intelligent Life in Outer Space is the fact it hasn't come here. Well, it can't hide forever - one day we will overhear it. | 126 |
| Chris Hadfield | One place that I looked at a lot from space and which looks alluring is New Zealand, especially the North Island. It's a big broad valley with a river flowing through it, and you can see the wine-making dryness of the land. | 126 |
| David Lynch | Music deals with time and timing. It's so magical, but when you get into it, every little sound and every little space between the sounds, it's critical, so critical. And if it's not there, it not only feels wrong, but it ruins things. | 126 |
| Freeman Dyson | The question that will decide our destiny is not whether we shall expand into space. It is: shall we be one species or a million? A million species will not exhaust the ecological niches that are awaiting the arrival of intelligence. | 126 |
| Jack White | We have a secret project at Third Man where we want to have the first vinyl record played in outer space. We want to launch a balloon that carries a vinyl record player. | 126 |
| Jean Baudrillard | Deep down, the US, with its space, its technological refinement, its bluff good conscience, even in those spaces which it opens up for simulation, is the only remaining primitive society. | 126 |
| Neil Armstrong | I'm substantially concerned about the policy directions of the space agency. We have a situation in the U.S. where the White House and Congress are at odds over what the future direction should be. They're sort of playing a game and NASA is the shuttlecock that they're hitting back and forth. | 126 |
| Zadie Smith | Well-run libraries are filled with people because what a good library offers cannot be easily found elsewhere: an indoor public space in which you do not have to buy anything in order to stay. | 126 |
| Arthur Erickson | After 1980, you never heard reference to space again. Surface, the most convincing evidence of the descent into materialism, became the focus of design. Space disappeared. | 126 |
| Alan Shepard | You have to be there not for the fame and glory and recognition and being a page in a history book, but you have to be there because you believe your talent and ability can be applied effectively to operation of the spacecraft. | 201 |
| Cate Blanchett | Theater is a space where you cross over from everyday life, because there are real people in that moment moving in front of you - you're being invited to believe in a story and cross that bridge. | 201 |
| Sally Ride | The space shuttle is a better and safer rocket than it was before the Challenger accident. | 201 |
| William Shatner | The mysteriousness and mystique of space is such, that science fiction attempts to tantalize you by telling you a story that could possibly be out there and that's the appeal of science fiction. | 201 |
| Eugene Cernan | Some of the most exciting space education in the country is not coming out of Washington or New York or California or even Texas. It's coming from a place in Kansas called the Cosmosphere. | 201 |
| Helen Sharman | While we've taken seeds into space, and astronauts on the International Space Station have eaten lettuce they've grown, we haven't produced fruit in space, so we can't pollinate something. | 201 |
| Jose Saramago | I think the novel is not so much a literary genre, but a literary space, like a sea that is filled by many rivers. The novel receives streams of science, philosophy, poetry and contains all of these; it's not simply telling a story. | 201 |
| Joyce Carol Oates | If you are a writer you locate yourself behind a wall of silence and no matter what you are doing, driving a car or walking or doing housework you can still be writing, because you have that space. | 201 |
| Shirley MacLaine | I'd like to go to another planet, which I might live long enough to accomplish. Just get on a spaceship and go. But not the moon. I don't see any flowers there. The moon is too close. I want to go further. | 201 |
| Frank Lloyd Wright | Space is the breath of art. | 202 |
| Robert A. Heinlein | When a place gets crowded enough to require ID's, social collapse is not far away. It is time to go elsewhere. The best thing about space travel is that it made it possible to go elsewhere. | 202 |
| Ryan Holmes | While social media skills were once a 'nice-to-have,' accreditation in the space is becoming a requirement for many of these job titles. Hiring managers and job seekers are realizing that printing stacks of resumes is turning passe, and social media is rising as the new way of generating real-time networking opportunities. | 202 |
| Iyanla Vanzant | I have learned the hard way to mind my business, without judging who people are and what they do. I am more troubled by the lack of space being provided for the truth to unfold. Humans cannot seem to wait for or honor the truth. Instead, we make it up based on who we believe people should or should not be. | 203 |
| Anne Lamott | My parents, and librarians along the way, taught me about the space between words; about the margins, where so many juicy moments of life and spirit and friendship could be found. In a library, you could find miracles and truth and you might find something that would make you laugh so hard that you get shushed, in the friendliest way. | 203 |
| Evgeny Morozov | Creative experimentation propels our culture forward. That our stories of innovation tend to glorify the breakthroughs and edit out all the experimental mistakes doesn't mean that mistakes play a trivial role. As any artist or scientist knows, without some protected, even sacred space for mistakes, innovation would cease. | 203 |
| Nancy Gibbs | Pour a liquid out of its container, and it changes shape, fills the space you give it. If you give children a lot of space, it may surprise you where they'll go and the shape they'll take. | 203 |
| Rob Lowe | The first private space of my own wasn't a dorm room; it was a hotel room in Tulsa, Oklahoma. | 203 |
| Seth Shostak | The math is dead simple: it seems that the frequency of planets able to support life is roughly one percent. In other words, a billion or more such worlds exist in our galaxy alone. That's a lot of acreage, and it takes industrial-strength credulity to believe it's all bleakly barren. | 203 |
| Eugene Cernan | We will certainly see teachers, journalists, artists and poets in space. Whatever it takes to the be the best is what it will take to get you into space. | 203 |
| Helen Sharman | During launch, the outside of the rocket is covered in a protective fairing, so we couldn't see outside, but as soon as that was jettisoned, my first view of the earth was over the Pacific Ocean, which was this wonderful deep blue, with clouds just over the top, and sunlight streaming in through the window. | 203 |
| Jose Mourinho | At the very least we should be given a bit of credit and a little bit of space, and maybe the media should think we could help them discover why English teams do not win European competitions. | 203 |
| Burt Rutan | By 1973, we had a space station, the Skylab, and we had multiple probes going up to planets. So, all this wonderful stuff happened in 10 to 15 years. About that time, there should have been enormous initiatives to make it affordable for people to fly in space, not just a handful of trained NASA astronauts and Russian cosmonauts. | 203 |
| Bear Grylls | I loved climbing because of the freedom, and having time and space. I remember coming off Everest for the last time, thinking of Dad and wishing that he could have seen what I saw. He would have loved it. | 204 |
| Annie Leibovitz | I don't think there is anything wrong with white space. I don't think it's a problem to have a blank wall. | 204 |
| Buzz Aldrin | I think humans will reach Mars, and I would like to see it happen in my lifetime. | 204 |
| Joseph Joubert | Space is to place as eternity is to time. | 204 |
| Muhammad Iqbal | The thought of a limit to perceptual space and time staggers the mind. | 204 |
| Ramana Maharshi | Time and space always change, but there is something which is eternal and changeless. For example, the world and time, past or future, nothing exists for us in sleep. But we exist. Let us try to find out that which is changeless and which always exists. | 204 |
| Robert Anton Wilson | Size is not a reality, but a construct of the mind; and space a construct to contain constructs. | 204 |
| Eugene Cernan | Am I willing to go to Mars? Yes, but I'm not willing to spend nine months getting there, then wait 18 more months until the planets align to come home. | 204 |
| Jason Mraz | When all of us are acknowledged as the human equals that we really are, there will be no space left for bullying. It will no longer be wrong to choose one thing over another. | 204 |
| Sloane Crosley | For a long time I wanted to draw, but I could never get the proportions right. My still life sketches were the artistic equivalent of someone who has misjudged the space constraints of a postcard, the handwriting shrinking uncomfortably at the bottom. | 204 |
| Vladimir Putin | The philosophy of FIFA is to expand world soccer space, to spread out the world football space. | 205 |
| Bill Nye | If the Earth gets hit by an asteroid, it's game over. It's control-alt-delete for civilization. | 205 |
| Chris Hadfield | It was remarkable to see from space how predictable people are. Our homes and towns are almost all in places with moderate temperatures, and they generally have the same shape - a thinly occupied outer blob of suburb surrounding a densely populated core, all based around a ready source of water. | 205 |
| Norman Cousins | What was most significant about the lunar voyage was not that men set foot on the moon but that they set eye on the earth. | 205 |
| Tom Hodgkinson | Faffing is good. It is an important part of life. Faffing is when we disconnect from the matrix and idle for a while, like a car. Our body and spirit know deep down that human beings were not made for constant toil so subconsciously creates space through the mechanism of faffing. | 205 |
| Werner Herzog | Perhaps I seek certain utopian things, space for human honour and respect, landscapes not yet offended, planets that do not exist yet, dreamed landscapes. | 205 |
| Eugene Cernan | Today, we are on a path of decay. We are seeing the book close on five decades of accomplishment as the leader in human space exploration. | 205 |
| Isaac Newton | The motions of the comets are exceedingly regular, and they observe the same laws as the motions of the planets, but they differ from the motions of vortices in every particular and are often contrary to them. | 206 |
| R. Buckminster Fuller | We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfully nor for much longer unless we see it as a whole spaceship and our fate as common. It has to be everybody or nobody. | 206 |
| Buzz Aldrin | The purpose of going to Mars is for humans to first begin to occupy, permanently, another planet in the solar system. The astronauts or pilgrims, whatever you might call them, are going to be very historically unique human beings. | 206 |
| Chris Evans | The majority of the world is empty space. Empty space, empty space, empty space. All that we see in the world, the life, the animals, plants, people - it's all empty space. That's amazing! | 206 |
| Chris Hadfield | When we first get to space, we feel sick. Your body is really confused. You're dizzy. Your lunch is floating around in your belly because you're floating. What you see doesn't match what you feel, and you want to throw up. | 206 |
| Stella Young | I quickly learned that asking if an interview space was wheelchair accessible was a bad idea; it gave a potential employer an immediate bad impression. It was either a black mark against my name, or a straight up discussion of why I wouldn't be able to work there because they had no wheelchair access. | 206 |
| Roseanne Barr | Women should try to increase their size rather than decrease it, because I believe the bigger we are, the more space we'll take up, and the more we'll have to be reckoned with. | 206 |
| Pope Francis | Although the life of a person is in a land full of thorns and weeds, there is always a space in which the good seed can grow. You have to trust God. | 207 |
| Chris Hadfield | When you're on one of the Caribbean islands, sometimes it's hard to picture how they fit in with the rest, but when you see them all joined together like a necklace from space, you see the natural geographic connectedness of them all. | 207 |
| Doris Lessing | Space or science fiction has become a dialect for our time. | 207 |
| Gustav Mahler | In its beginnings, music was merely chamber music, meant to be listened to in a small space by a small audience. | 207 |
| Ludwig Mies van der Rohe | Modern buildings of our time are so huge that one must group them. Often the space between these buildings is as important as the buildings themselves. | 207 |
| Muhammad Iqbal | Be not entangled in this world of days and nights; Thou hast another time and space as well. | 207 |
| Sally Ride | The food isn't too bad. It's very different from the food that the astronauts ate in the very early days of the space program. | 207 |
| Temple Grandin | If you have autism in the family history, you still vaccinate. Delay it a bit, space them out. | 207 |
| Zlatan Ibrahimovic | I would love to play alongside Wayne Rooney. He does the running of two or three players and makes a lot of space. We would be the perfect combination. | 207 |
| Henry Spencer | Reusable rockets promise much easier testing because you should usually get them back, and you can debug as you go rather than having to get everything perfect the first time. | 207 |
| B. F. Skinner | I won't say that I'm an agnostic, since agnosticism maintains that one cannot know... but I'm not averse to the idea of some intelligence or some organizing force that set up the initial conditions of the universe in such a way that ultimately generated stars, planets and life. | 208 |
| Chris Hadfield | To be one of the world's top space robotic arm operators is a necessary skill for an astronaut, but it doesn't have much carry-over. | 208 |
| David Hockney | Being able to draw means being able to put things in believable space. People who don't draw very well can't do that. | 208 |
| Wole Soyinka | Under a dictatorship, a nation ceases to exist. All that remains is a fiefdom, a planet of slaves regimented by aliens from outer space. | 209 |
| Jonathan Sacks | Religious ritual is a way of structuring time so that we, not employers, the market or the media, are in control. Life needs its pauses, its chapter breaks, if the soul is to have space to breathe. | 210 |
| Joseph Conrad | A word carries far, very far, deals destruction through time as the bullets go flying through space. | 211 |
| Ellen Stofan | Mars missions will require up to three years in reduced gravity, so we need to make sure astronauts can not only survive but thrive as they move outward to explore this new world. | 211 |
| T. S. Eliot | It is only in the world of objects that we have time and space and selves. | 212 |
| Nathan Myhrvold | Most visions of extraterrestrial life are actually steeped in human hubris. The fictional extraterrestrials of 'Star Trek' or a hundred other space operas are less alien than many of my neighbors. And funny, the ones running the place are mostly WASPish men. | 212 |
| Martin Rees | The practical case for manned spacef light gets ever-weaker with each advance in robots and miniaturisation - indeed, as a scientist or practical man, I see little purpose in sending people into space at all. But as a human being, I'm an enthusiast for manned missions. | 212 |
| R. Buckminster Fuller | The most important thing about Spaceship Earth - an instruction book didn't come with it. | 213 |
| Stephen King | And as a writer, one of the things that I've always been interested in doing is actually invading your comfort space. Because that's what we're supposed to do. Get under your skin, and make you react. | 213 |
| Charles Baudelaire | There are moments of existence when time and space are more profound, and the awareness of existence is immensely heightened. | 213 |
| Naveen Jain | I believe we need a more opportunistic and democratic approach to lunar exploration, now that we're shifting from U.S. government-sponsored space exploration to private expeditions. | 213 |
| Hugh Jackman | My parents were drawn to the idea that there was space and opportunity in Australia. For the meagre sum of £10, you could sail your entire family out to Australia, so that's what my father chose to do. | 214 |
| Michio Kaku | Physics is often stranger than science fiction, and I think science fiction takes its cues from physics: higher dimensions, wormholes, the warping of space and time, stuff like that. | 214 |
| Natalie Portman | I like acting for now. But after seeing Apollo 13, what I really want to do is to be an astronaut. I'm dying to go to a space camp next summer! | 214 |
| Jonathan Sacks | Cyberspace can't compensate for real space. We benefit from chatting to people face to face. | 214 |
| Buzz Aldrin | Before deciding what to do about national space policy, Obama set up an outside review panel of space experts, headed up by my friend Norm Augustine, former head of Lockheed Martin and a former government official. | 215 |
| Eric Hoffer | Our passionate preoccupation with the sky, the stars, and a God somewhere in outer space is a homing impulse. We are drawn back to where we came from. | 215 |
| Seth Shostak | While human space travel is daunting, machines - with their indefinitely long lifetimes - could travel the galaxy. It might make little difference to them that bridging the distance from one star to the next could take hundreds of thousands of years or more. | 215 |
| Eckhart Tolle | When you get into your car, shut the door and be there for just half a minute. Breathe, feel the energy inside your body, look around at the sky, the trees. The mind might tell you, 'I don't have time.' But that's the mind talking to you. Even the busiest person has time for 30 seconds of space. | 216 |
| Brian Eno | Once music ceases to be ephemeral - always disappearing - and becomes instead material... it leaves the condition of traditional music and enters the condition of painting. It becomes a painting, existing as material in space, not immaterial in time. | 216 |
| Camille Paglia | Madonna can still produce a catchy pop song, but she hasn't expanded her artistic vocabulary since the 1990s. Her concerts are glitzy extravaganzas of special effects overkill. She leaves little space in them for emotional depth or unscripted rapport with the audience. | 216 |
| Jerry Saltz | When museums are built these days, architects, directors, and trustees seem most concerned about social space: places to have parties, eat dinner, wine-and-dine donors. Sure, these are important these days - museums have to bring in money - but they gobble up space and push the art itself far away from the entrance. | 216 |
| Maya Angelou | Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness. | 217 |
| Frank Lloyd Wright | The space within becomes the reality of the building. | 217 |
| Alicia Keys | I really appreciate Frank Ocean's lyrical style, I appreciate the way that he can kind of draw you into this personal space, but it's still lyrical. It's almost poetic, in a way, but it's very personal at the same time. | 217 |
| Ludwig Mies van der Rohe | Architecture is always the will of the age conceived as space - nothing else. Until this simple truth is clearly recognized, the struggle over the foundation of a new architecture confident in its aims and powerful in its impact cannot be realized; until then, it is destined to remain a chaos of uncoordinated forces. | 217 |
| Franklin D. Roosevelt | Favor comes because for a brief moment in the great space of human change and progress some general human purpose finds in him a satisfactory embodiment. | 218 |
| Richard P. Feynman | Einstein's gravitational theory, which is said to be the greatest single achievement of theoretical physics, resulted in beautiful relations connecting gravitational phenomena with the geometry of space; this was an exciting idea. | 218 |
| Buzz Aldrin | There's no doubt who was a leader in space after the Apollo Program. Nobody came close to us. And our education system, in science, technology, engineering and math, was at the top of the world. It's no longer there. We're descending rather rapidly. | 218 |
| Douglas Coupland | I decided at 40 I was wasting entire chunks of my brain and didn't want to blow my one chance on Earth. I'm glad I made that decision. Writing is largely about time, while visual art is largely about space. Sometimes, as with film, you can hybridize, but I think it's basically the space part of my brain wanting equal footing with the time part. | 218 |
| Sarah Brightman | When you gaze at stars and think about planets, the places it takes your imagination are amazing! You look up the sky, and you know the stars have always been here; they were referenced in biblical times and have always been present. They are somewhere up there in the future, and they guide you; they make you feel safe. | 218 |
| Lady Gaga | Vanity can create a very cruel space for you if you don't know how to manage it. | 219 |
| Nathan Myhrvold | Age can be wonderful for red wine, but not for spacecraft. | 219 |
| Neil Young | The rockets and the satellites, spaceships that we're creating now, we're pollinating the universe. | 219 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | Space enthusiasts are the most susceptible demographic to delusion that I have ever seen. | 220 |
| Ludwig Mies van der Rohe | Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space. Living, Changing, New. Not yesterday, not tomorrow, only today can be given form. Only such architecture is creative. | 220 |
| Buzz Aldrin | I think both the space shuttle program and the International Space Station program have not really lived up to their expectations. | 221 |
| Elon Musk | The space shuttle was often used as an example of why you shouldn't even attempt to make something reusable. But one failed experiment does not invalidate the greater goal. If that was the case, we'd never have had the light bulb. | 223 |
| Lord Byron | Ye stars! which are the poetry of heaven! | 223 |
| Ashton Kutcher | I certainly don't think I'm deserving of taking up space forever as a human. There's a whole generation of people yet to be born that are going to be so much more evolved than I am. I don't want to take up space. They're going to be better equipped to make the world a better place than I am. | 223 |
| Buzz Aldrin | Space tourism is a logical outgrowth of the adventure tourist market. | 223 |
| Muhammad Iqbal | Thus passing through the infinite varieties of space we reach the Divine space which is absolutely free from all dimensions and constitutes the meeting point of all infinities. | 223 |
| Seth Shostak | Sending greeting cards to aliens is hardly a new idea. In 2005, Craigslist solicited messages for broadcast to space by a transmitter in Florida, and in 2008, NASA beamed a Beatles song to the North Star (Polaris), on the assumption that any putative Polarians would appreciate the Fab Four's 1960s-genre compositions. | 223 |
| Eckhart Tolle | Many people in this world are still so identified with every thought that arises in their head. There is not the slightest space of awareness there. | 224 |
| Kim Kardashian | I feel like I'm at a really happy, good space. | 224 |
| Stephen Hawking | A zero-gravity flight is a first step toward space travel. | 224 |
| Oprah Winfrey | I remember a specific moment, watching my grandmother hang the clothes on the line, and her saying to me, 'you are going to have to learn to do this,' and me being in that space of awareness and knowing that my life would not be the same as my grandmother's life. | 224 |
| Buzz Aldrin | Space travel for everyone is the next frontier in the human experience. | 224 |
| George Lucas | I was afraid that science-fiction buffs and everybody would say things like, 'You know, there's no sound in outer space.' | 224 |
| Isaac Newton | It is indeed a matter of great difficulty to discover, and effectually to distinguish, the true motions of particular bodies from the apparent because the parts of that immovable space, in which those motions are performed, do by no means come under the observation of our senses. | 225 |
| Marshall McLuhan | For tribal man space was the uncontrollable mystery. For technological man it is time that occupies the same role. | 226 |
| Bill Nye | To try to really land a spacecraft really on another world is really difficult, and if we lose that ability, it's going to be heartbreaking. | 226 |
| Buzz Aldrin | To move forward, what's required is a unified space agenda based on exploration, science, development, commerce, and security. | 226 |
| Michio Kaku | Our astronauts, when they go orbiting around the earth, they actually come back slightly younger than a twin that they would have on the planet Earth who was stationary. This is called the twin paradox. | 301 |
| Stephen Hawking | We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special. | 303 |
| Henri Nouwen | Discipline means to prevent everything in your life from being filled up. Discipline means that somewhere you're not occupied, and certainly not preoccupied. In the spiritual life, discipline means to create that space in which something can happen that you hadn't planned or counted on. | 303 |
| Chris Hadfield | As an astronaut, especially during launch, half of the risk of a six-month flight is in the first nine minutes. | 303 |
| Isabel Allende | From journalism I learned to write under pressure, to work with deadlines, to have limited space and time, to conduct and interview, to find information, to research, and above all, to use language as efficiently as possible and to remember always that there is a reader out there. | 303 |
| Buzz Aldrin | As someone who flew two space capsules and twice landed in the ocean, I can attest from personal experience how much logistics work is needed to get you home. | 304 |
| Gertrude Stein | In the United States there is more space where nobody is than where anybody is. That is what makes America what it is. | 304 |
| Dan Quayle | Space is almost infinite. As a matter of fact, we think it is infinite. | 305 |
| Sally Ride | One thing I probably share with everyone else in the astronaut office is composure. | 305 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | If you're going to lead a space frontier, it has to be government; it'll never be private enterprise. Because the space frontier is dangerous, and it's expensive, and it has unquantified risks. And under those conditions, you cannot establish a capital-market evaluation of that enterprise. You can't get investors. | 306 |
| Buzz Aldrin | It's time to open the space frontier to citizen explorers. | 307 |
| Chris Hadfield | I've been lucky enough to fly to space twice. | 307 |
| Barack Obama | The thing about hip-hop today is it's smart, it's insightful. The way they can communicate a complex message in a very short space is remarkable. | 308 |
| Deepak Chopra | Karma is only in space time and causality. Your real self resides non-locally. | 308 |
| Simon Sinek | When I was a kid, I was a bit of a space geek. I loved the space program and all things NASA. I would read books about our solar system; I had pictures of the Space Shuttle on my bedroom wall. And yes, I even went to Space Camp. | 308 |
| Buzz Aldrin | Instead of planning the retirement of the Space Shuttle program, America should be preparing the shuttles for their next step in space: evolving, not shutting them down and laying off thousands of people. | 308 |
| Kevin Mitnick | Any type of operating system that I wanted to be able to hack, I basically compromised the source code, copied it over to the university because I didn't have enough space on my 200 megabyte hard drive. | 309 |
| Buzz Aldrin | Space is not just going up and coming back down again. Space is getting into orbit and being there, living there, establishing a presence, a permanence. | 309 |
| Michio Kaku | Sooner or later, we will face a catastrophic threat from space. Of all the possible threats, only a gigantic asteroid hit can destroy the entire planet. If we prepare now, we better our odds of survival. The dinosaurs never knew what hit them. | 309 |
| Ray Bradbury | We've gotta reinvest in space travel. We should've never left the moon. | 310 |
| Peter Diamandis | Mining asteroids will ultimately benefit humanity on and off the Earth in a multitude of ways. | 310 |
| Seth Shostak | Star Trek's genial premise is that the cosmos is flush with intelligent species, and our descendants will interact with them face-to-face, thanks to warp drive and some winsome space cadets. | 310 |
| Henry Rollins | When a young non-white male is stopped and searched at the whim of a police officer, his idea of personal space, privacy and self esteem are shattered, to say nothing of his Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment protections. The damage goes deep quickly and stays. Stop & frisk, as well as a tactic, is also an incitement. | 311 |
| Steve Jobs | The people who are doing the work are the moving force behind the Macintosh. My job is to create a space for them, to clear out the rest of the organization and keep it at bay. | 313 |
| Taylor Swift | I can't deal with someone wanting to take a relationship backward or needing space or cheating on you. | 313 |
| Gore Vidal | Overcrowding in the cities is producing a collective madness in which irrational violence flourishes because man needs more space in which to be than the modern city allows. | 314 |
| Deepak Chopra | Consciousness, rather than being an epiphenomenon of matter, is actually the source of matter. It differentiates into space time, energy, information, and matter. Even though this view is an ancient view, an ancient world view, it is now finding some resonance amongst a few scientists. | 315 |
| Elon Musk | What I'm trying to do is, is to make a significant difference in space flight. And help make space flight accessible to almost anyone. | 316 |
| Penn Jillette | When I was a kid, politicians wanted to avoid talking about religion if they could. John F. Kennedy couldn't duck the issue, being Catholic and all. So how did he address it? By reminding Americans that religion shouldn't be an issue, that he was concentrating on big things like poverty and hunger and leading the space race. | 317 |
| Sylvia Earle | Any astronaut can tell you you've got to do everything you can to learn about your life support system and then do everything you can to take care of it. | 318 |
| George W. Bush | We will build new ships to carry man forward into the universe, to gain a new foothold on the moon and to prepare for new journeys to the worlds beyond our own. | 320 |
| Martin Rees | The images of Earth's delicate biosphere, contrasting with the sterile moonscape where the astronauts left their footsteps, have become iconic for environmentalists: these may indeed be the Apollo programme's most enduring legacy. | 320 |
| Maya Angelou | What is a fear of living? It's being preeminently afraid of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness. The antidote is to take full responsibility for yourself - for the time you take up and the space you occupy. If you don't know what you're here to do, then just do some good. | 321 |
| Vint Cerf | Their Internet usage is growing very rapidly, and even they can do the math: If everyone in China needed an IPv4 address - just one - this country would use up one third of the entire public IP address space. | 321 |
| Elon Musk | It is theoretically possible to warp spacetime itself, so you're not actually moving faster than the speed of light, but it's actually space that's moving. | 322 |
| Virginia Woolf | That great Cathedral space which was childhood. | 325 |
| Jeff Bezos | Great industries are never made from single companies. There is room in space for a lot of winners. | 325 |
| Robert Frost | Space ails us moderns: we are sick with space. | 326 |
| Steven Wright | If you are in a spaceship that is traveling at the speed of light, and you turn on the headlights, does anything happen? | 326 |
| Kurt Vonnegut | Science sent the Hubble telescope out into space, so it could capture light and the absence thereof, from the very beginning of time. And the telescope really did that. So now we know that there was once absolutely nothing, such a perfect nothing that there wasn't even nothing or once. | 401 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | The partisanship surrounding space exploration and the retrenching of U.S. space policy are part of a more general trend: the decline of science in the United States. As its interest in science wanes, the country loses ground to the rest of the industrialized world in every measure of technological proficiency. | 401 |
| Confucius | The superior man does not, even for the space of a single meal, act contrary to virtue. In moments of haste, he cleaves to it. In seasons of danger, he cleaves to it. | 405 |
| Taylor Swift | I can't deal with someone wanting to take a relationship backward or needing space or cheating on you. It's a conscious thing; it's a common-sense thing. | 405 |
| Elon Musk | If you look at space companies, they've failed either because they've had a technical solution where success was not a possible outcome, they were unable to attract a critical mass of talent, or they just ran out of money. The finish line is usually a lot further away than you think. | 406 |
| Henry Rollins | Now and then, someone is able to look at an empty space, conclude it would be a great place to start a revolution, and bravely go forward. | 407 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | If your ego starts out, 'I am important, I am big, I am special,' you're in for some disappointments when you look around at what we've discovered about the universe. No, you're not big. No, you're not. You're small in time and in space. And you have this frail vessel called the human body that's limited on Earth. | 408 |
| P. J. O'Rourke | A 'farm' today means 100,000 chickens in a space the size of a Motel 6 shower stall. | 410 |
| John F. Kennedy | Why should man's first flight to the moon be a matter of national competition? Why should the United States and the Soviet Union, in preparing for such expeditions, become involved in immense duplications of research, construction and expenditure? | 413 |
| Lyndon B. Johnson | The moon and other celestial bodies should be free for exploration and use by all countries. No country should be permitted to advance a claim of sovereignty. | 414 |
| Ray Bradbury | I'm never going to go to Mars, but I've helped inspire, thank goodness, the people who built the rockets and sent our photographic equipment off to Mars. | 414 |
| Stephen Hawking | I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space. | 414 |
| Lao Tzu | For the wise man looks into space and he knows there is no limited dimensions. | 415 |
| Blaise Pascal | Through space the universe encompasses and swallows me up like an atom; through thought I comprehend the world. | 416 |
| Elon Musk | I would like to fly in space. Absolutely. That would be cool. I used to just do personally risky things, but now I've got kids and responsibilities, so I can't be my own test pilot. That wouldn't be a good idea. But I definitely want to fly as soon as it's a sensible thing to do. | 416 |
| Peter Diamandis | My childhood dreams were focused on being part of the effort to make humanity a multiplanetary species. | 416 |
| Elon Musk | If anyone has a vested interest in space solar power, it would have to be me. | 417 |
| Hunter S. Thompson | The behavior of the crowd at Churchill Downs is like 100,000 vicious Hyenas going berserk all at once in a space about the size of a 777 jet or the White House lawn. | 417 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | There's a lot to do in space. I want to learn more about the greenhouse effect on Venus, about whether there was life on Mars, about the environment in which Earth and the Sun is immersed, the behavior of the Sun. | 417 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | I claim that space is part of our culture. You've heard complaints that nobody knows the names of the astronauts, that nobody gets excited about launches, that nobody cares anymore except people in the industry. I don't believe that for a minute. | 421 |
| Stephen Hawking | If we want to travel into the future, we just need to go fast. Really fast. And I think the only way we're ever likely to do that is by going into space. | 422 |
| Richard Dawkins | Science has taught us, against all intuition, that apparently solid things like crystals and rocks are really almost entirely composed of empty space. And the familiar illustration is the nucleus of an atom is a fly in the middle of a sports stadium, and the next atom is in the next sports stadium. | 423 |
| Henry David Thoreau | What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on? | 426 |
| John F. Kennedy | I am sorry to say that there is too much point to the wisecrack that life is extinct on other planets because their scientists were more advanced than ours. | 426 |
| John F. Kennedy | America has tossed its cap over the wall of space. | 501 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | Asteroids have us in our sight. The dinosaurs didn't have a space program, so they're not here to talk about this problem. We are, and we have the power to do something about it. I don't want to be the embarrassment of the galaxy, to have had the power to deflect an asteroid, and then not, and end up going extinct. | 501 |
| Vint Cerf | There is a project that's underway called the interplanetary Internet. It's in operation between Earth and Mars. It's operating on the International Space Station. It's part of the spacecraft that's in orbit around the Sun that's rendezvoused with two planets. | 502 |
| Steve Jobs | I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating. | 506 |
| Elon Musk | Land on Mars, a round-trip ticket - half a million dollars. It can be done. | 507 |
| Elon Musk | If we drive down the cost of transportation in space, we can do great things. | 510 |
| Stephen Hawking | Before 1915, space and time were thought of as a fixed arena in which events took place, but which was not affected by what happened in it. Space and time are now dynamic quantities... space and time not only affect but are also affected by everything that happens in the universe. | 518 |
| Stephen Hawking | Time can behave like another direction in space under extreme conditions. | 521 |
| Craig Venter | The day is not far off when we will be able to send a robotically controlled genome-sequencing unit in a probe to other planets to read the DNA sequence of any alien microbe life that may be there. | 524 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | Space in general gave us GPS - that's not specifically NASA, but it's investments in space. | 525 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | If you want a nation to have space exploration ambitions, you've got to send humans. | 602 |
| Stephen Hawking | I think the human race doesn't have a future if it doesn't go into space. | 616 |
| Wayne Dyer | Find joy and solace in the simple, and cultivate your utopia by feeling the Tao in every cubic inch of space. | 619 |
| Seth Shostak | In the four years since its launch, Kepler has chalked up 122 new and confirmed planets. It's also caught the scent of nearly three thousand additional objects, of which probably 80 percent or more will turn out to be other-worldly orbs. | 619 |
| Ralph Waldo Emerson | The intuition of the moral sentiment is an insight of the perfection of the laws of the soul. These laws execute themselves. They are out of time, out of space, and not subject to circumstance. | 621 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | There are a lot of things you can do in space, and space essentially is unlimited resources. We are climbing over ourselves here looking for the next source of energy. The universe has an unlimited source of energy. | 624 |
| Neil deGrasse Tyson | There are thousands of asteroids whose orbit in the Solar System crosses that of Earth. And we have a little acronym for them - NEOs: near Earth objects. And our biggest goal is to try to catalogue them, so we know in advance if one is going to put us at risk. | 705 |
| Henry Rollins | I tend to gravitate to the darkest or most obscure part of any venue in an effort to have my own space to experience the music on my own, free from unwanted conversations and other distractions. | 712 |
