“And I'm asking you for your good and for your nation's security to take no unnecessary trips, to use carpools or public transportation whenever you can, to park your car one extra day per week, to obey the speed limit, and to set your thermostats to save fuel. Every act of energy conservation like this is more than just common sense-I tell you it is an act of patriotism.” UseEnergyNationsCommonWeekSecurityCarLimitsAskingSpeedCommon SenseAlternativesExtrasParksFuelUnnecessaryConservationTransportationSpeed LimitsEnergy ConservationPublic Transportation Author:Jimmy Carter
“Most Muggles lived in a world defined by the limits of what you could do with cars and telephones. Even though Muggle physics explicitly permitted possibilities like molecular nanotechnology or the Penrose process for extracting energy from black holes, most people filed that away in the same section of their brain that stored fairy tales and history books, well away from their personal realities: Long ago and far away, ever so long ago.” PeopleWorldWellsLongBookRealityEnergyProcessBlackBrainCarPossibilityLimitsPhysicsHolesTalesDefinedFairyFairy TaleFar AwayLong AgoSectionsTelephonesBlack HoleHistory BooksNanotechnologyMuggles Author:Eliezer Yudkowsky
“I love driving fast. I grew up in Germany; we have the Autobahn here, where we can drive without a speed limit. And throughout my 20s, I always had fast cars, and I always went to the maximum.

“To me the biggest waste of time is commuting. First, there is no place that is less than a two-hour commute from New York. You can be half a mile outside of the city limits; you're two hours away by car. I don't care how close they tell you it is. "Oh, it's only thirty miles." Thirty miles? At 8:30 in the morning, thirty miles outside New York, you might as well be starting out in Omaha.” FirstsWellsTwoMightCareHoursCitiesHalfMorningCarNew YorkLimitsWasteStartingDon't CareMilesI Don't CareThirtyWasting TimeStarting OutOmahaCommuting Author:Fran Lebowitz
“I was not interested at all in Formula One when I left; I was very busy with my airline. But slowly I started missing the adrenaline rush and the driving of such fantastic cars at the limit. In reality this urge never disappears when you're a top driver, because I think we're a different breed of people, we need to take chances, we need to push ourselves to the limit all the time, that sort of thing. It stays with you, although you can kill it by losing motivation or other things in your life, but it never leaves you forever.” PeopleThinkingNeedsDifferentRealityMotivationLeftChanceForeverCarMissingLimitsLosingBusyDisappearDrivingFantasticUrgesDriversFormulasNot InterestedTake A ChanceAirlineAdrenalineFormula OneAdrenaline Rush Author:Niki Lauda
“It was the same with Schumacher: the need for the adrenaline rush, to push himself to the limit was always there. So without a Formula One car to race with he went on to do motorcycle racing and other stupid things, and obviously that wasn't enough to keep him happy, so he had a problem to sort out and returning to racing was his answer to the problem.” NeedsEnoughProblemAnswersRaceCarStupidLimitsFormulasRacingMotorcycleAdrenalineStupid ThingsFormula OneAdrenaline RushSchumacher Author:Niki Lauda

“Somebody who talks about how much they're eating and counts calories is unattractive to me. And when you limit yourself in the things you eat, it affects your mood. I've seen people who are a nightmare to be around because they're not eating.
