Famous Quotes & Sayings

Richard P. Feynman

We have been led to imagine all sorts of things infinitely more marvelous than the imagining of poets and dreamers of the past. It shows that the imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man. For instance, how much more remarkable it is for us all to be stuck-half of us upside down-by a mysterious attraction, to a spinning ball that has been swinging in space for billions of years, than to be carried on the back of an elephant supported on a tortoise swimming in a bottomless sea.

Roddy Doyle

To claim that music is more important than oxygen would be trite and sentimental. It would also be true.

Robert Mayer

The blood corpuscles take up the atmospheric oxygen in the lungs, and the vital chemical process accordingly depends essentially on the combination of oxygen absorbed by blood corpuscles with the combustible constituents of the blood to form carbonic acid and water.

Ziggy Marley

The sun is always shining. We have oxygen, trees, birds. There's so much good things on Earth, still. We haven't destroyed everything.

Jacque Fresco

Grasses recycle oxygen far more efficiently than trees. The turnover is faster. Grass reaches out and turns solar energy into carbon. Tillage hyper-aerates the soil, burning out carbon. But because a plant creates bilateral symmetry at the soil horizon, it sloughs off root mass when the top gets chopped off.

Harold Mitchell

I was in Sydney on Saturday morning and saw all the papers and soaked it all up, then I got to the airport and thought gee, this is amazing. Even the Krispy Kreme doughnut people had put red and white tops on their take-away packs.

Alex Coletti

Knowing this channel was coming, for the past year or year and a half, we've been shooting all our shows in high def, converting them for air but saving a high-def master with 5.1 audio. Now I've got a shelf full of stuff I can't wait to get out there.

John McDonnell

Keeping that fire going is like chemistry. As the year goes on and you see your team start to gel, there?s like an air or halo that tells you this team is special. Each year, that feeling keeps you going.

Jim Voss

Just using our highly sensitive instrument -- our ears -- the starboard aft IMV(Intermodule Ventilation assembly) valve seems to be where the leak is. We can hear some air flow through there as the vestibule continues to re-pressurize using the station air,

JJ came to us as a colonel, and he leaves us as a brigadier general. He's a top-notch base commander. I hope he will continue to have a good career in the Air Force and always think fondly of McGuire Air Force Base.

Rally Caparas
