“Still, I also know that most people, including me, tend to applaud the wrong things: the showy, dramatic record-setting sprint rather than the years of dogged preparation or the unwavering grace displayed during a string of losses. Applause, then, never bore much relation to the reality of my life as an astronaut, which was not all about, or even mostly about, flying around in space.” PeopleKnowsYearsStillsRealityLossSpaceRecordsGraceRelationIncludingFlyingSettingSettingsPreparationDramaticStringsBoresApplauseAstronautWrong ThingsSprintUnwaveringShowy Author:Chris Hadfield

“If you work with so many classical instruments... I mean, it still has this power, and it's still connected to the idea of techno. But it has its own quality, its own sound.

“When I gaze into the stars, they look down upon me with pity from their serene and silent spaces, like eyes glistening with tears over the little lot of man. Thousands of generations, all as noisy as our own, have been swallowed up by time, and there remains no record of them any more. Yet Arcturus and Orion, Sirius and Pleiades, are still shining in their courses, clear and young, as when the shepherd first noted them in the plain of Shinar!” MenFirstsLooksLittlesHas BeensStillsEyeYoungCoursesStarsSpaceClearRecordsGenerationsTearsRemainsShiningSilentPitySereneShepherdsNoisySiriusOrion Author:Thomas Carlyle
“All photographs are about light. The great majority of photographs record light as a way of describing objects in space.

“The designation of the locality in one excludes the appearances narrated by the rest; the determination of time in another leaves no space for the narratives of his fellow-evangelists; the enumeration of a third is given without any regard to the events reported by his predecessors; lastly, among several appearances recounted by various narrators, each claims to be the last, and yet has nothing in common with the others. Hence nothing but wilful blindness can prevent the perception that no one of the narrators knew and presupposed what another records.” LastsGivenSpaceCommonRecordsAtheismEventsPerceptionDeterminationThirdsClaimsRegardFellowsVariousAppearancePositive AtheismNarrativeBlindnessPredecessorsNarratorsEvangelistsLocalityDesignation Author:David Friedrich Strauss
“A record is something that isn't real or true. It's like cinema. It's a construction of something hyper-real and surreal and unreal all at the same time. You make a space that doesn't really exist.

“I would die to record in space. That would be the coolest. 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.

“The habit of a midwinter festivity had come by the dawn of history (and probably very long before) to seem a natural one to the British, and not one to be eradicated by changes of political or religious fashion. ...

“I think my first impression (of Bix Beiderbecke) was the lasting one. I remember very clearly thinking, 'Where, what planet, did this guy come from? Is he from outer space?' I'd never heard anything like the way he played-not in Chicago, no place. The tone-he had this wonderful, ringing cornet tone. He could have played in a symphony orchestra with that tone. But also the intervals he played, the figures-whatever the hell he did. There was a refinement about his playing. You know, in those days I played a little trumpet, and I could play all the solos from his records, by heart.” ThinkingKnowsWayFirstsHeartLittlesPlayRememberGuySpaceHellRecordsWonderfulHeardFiguresPlanetsImpressionToneLastingChicagoSoloThis GuyOrchestraSymphonyTrumpetsIntervalsRefinementOuter SpaceFirst ImpressionSymphony Orchestras Author:Benny Goodman
