“I would still like to go up in the space shuttle. It's appalling that the accident happened, but it was an accident and obviously if I knew there was any risk, I'd be foolish to do it. I'd love to stand outside the Earth and look at it. Extraordinary feeling that, something that we've been tied to for millions of years, and a handful of people have looked at it, to be able to do that would be stunning.” PeopleIfsYearsLooksStillsFeelingsWould BeAbleEarthSpaceMillionsRiskHappenedExtraordinaryAccidentsFoolishTiedStanding OutHandfulStunningSpace Shuttle Author:Colin Baker
“Only a dreamer or a fool would pick a stock at random and expect it to take off like a space ship from its launching pad. Certainly this has happened - about as often as a dime-store clerk has become a Hollywood star or a boy born in a log cabin has been elected President of the United States - just often enough, that is, to keep alive the Great American Dream.” Has BeensStatesEnoughDreamStarsPresidentBornSpaceUnitedBoysUnited StatesAliveHappenedFoolPicksHollywoodStoresShipsDreamerAmerican DreamDimesGreat AmericanClerksPadsCabinsLaunchingHollywood StarsLog Cabins Author:Catherine Crook de Camp
“I was doing progressively smaller movies in England, after Harry Potter... to the point where I was doing nine-day shoots for, like, 20p and a packet of Space Invaders. And then this happened.

“Basically, if the mind stays in the present, it's impossible to worry. Upon careful consideration, it becomes clear that human beings are capable of worrying only about an event that has already transpired or one that may take place in the future (although the occurrence might have just happened or may be about to happen in the next instant). The present moment contains no time or space for worry.” IfsMindHumansMayMomentsMightHappensNextHuman BeingsSpaceWorryClearMeditationImpossibleHappenedEventsCapableYogaCarefulInstantConsiderationPresent Moment Author:H.

“Human beings have got a lot of good, noble impulses inside them, and most people want to be good and do more good than they do evil. Hell, we've had nuclear weapons now for thirty or thirty-five years and nothing's happened yet. That in itself seems to be a miracle. If Reagan pushes the button or somebody pushes the button in Russia or somebody pushes it in Costa Rica, they can put a big tombstone in outer space that says, "We gave it a good try."

“For me, going back to itinerant landscape painting, it's not about returning to an older method, but about building on what happened in the 20th century in photography.

“I started getting really curious about art. I read about the Dadaists and the Futurists and the Constructivists - those kind of movements which were reflecting the angst of the people of their times. Their work was trying to lead a movement. I began thinking about what was happening, with painting on the streets and painting on the trains as being similar but also coming from a real, pure space. It wasn't being created by academies. It was a spontaneous combustion of ideas that just happened.” PeopleThinkingTryingKindArtIdeasRealSpaceHappenedStreetsMovementPaintingPureHappeningsTrainCuriousSpontaneousReflectingAcademyAngstCombustionFuturistSpontaneous Combustion Author:Jeffrey Deitch
“Well, we now have such a photograph... Has any new idea been let loose? It certainly has.

“In Comme des Garçons, I hardly do any sketches; there's no fittings on bodies, there's no models that come in and say, "Oh, a little bit like this." In the beginning, there isn't even a theme.
