"There's only one earth. And there's no spare."

-- Wubbo Ockels

“We want to know that we're not alone with our loneliness or loss.”
“Do something. Get results. Decide if it's worth repeating.”
“From the time I began to read, as a child, I loved to feel their heft in my hand and the warm spot caused by their intimate weight in my lap; I loved the crisp whisper of a page turning, the musky odor of old paper and the sharp inky whiff of new pages. Leather bindings sent me into ecstasy. I even loved to gaze at a closed book and daydream about the possibilities inside.”
“Exercise is like meditation for me, and I'm giving myself that time... I can't live without it now.”
“While it is nice to be discovered, it's much better to discover yourself.”

“Remember that time slurs over everything, let all deeds fade, blurs all writings and kills all memories. Exempt are only those which dig into the hearts of men by love.”
“Just listen to all this sweet, sweet music. I'm working the music.”
“No, I did a film called 'Death and the Compass' as well.”
