I went to the University of Washington as a physics and astronomy major. My other interest, of course, was aviation. I always wanted to be a pilot. And if you're going to fly airplanes, the best place to be is the Air Force.

It looks like the future's really bright.

Michael P. Anderson Astronaut

It's a great view from here. I'm having the time of my life.

Michael P. Anderson Astronaut

I was always fascinated by science-fiction shows, shows like 'Star Trek' and 'Lost in Space.'

Michael P. Anderson Astronaut

When you launch in a rocket, you're not really flying that rocket. You're just sort of hanging on.

Michael P. Anderson Astronaut

Man is a creature adapted for life under circumstances which are very narrowly limited. A few degrees of temperature more or less, a slight variation in the composition of air, the precise suitability of food, makes all the difference between health and sickness; between life and death.

Robert Stawell Ball Royal Astronomer Of Ireland

One little bird not larger than a sparrow, it may have been a Phalarope, would alight on the turbulent surface where the breakers were five or six feet high, and float buoyantly there like a duck, cunningly taking to its wings and lifting itself a few feet through the air over the foaming crest of each breaker, but sometimes outriding safely a considerable billow which hid it some seconds, when its instinct told it that it would not break. It was a little creature thus to sport with the ocean, but it was as perfect a success in its way as the breakers in theirs.

Henry David Thoreau Author

I'm not meant to run around trees. I can't throw my arms in the air and sing, I find that boring and irritating. Sweet romcoms are not my cup of tea. The film has to be a little twisted and quirky.

Emraan Hashmi Film Actor

I received my Greetings from Uncle Sam in May 1943. I applied for the Air Force.

Desi Arnaz Musician

Do I do as false prophets do and puff air into simulacra? Am I a Sorcerer--like Macbeth's witches--mixing truth and lies in incandescent shapes? Or am I a kind of very minor scribe of a prophetic Book--telling such truth as in me lies, with aid of such fiction as I acknowledge mine, as Prospero acknowledged Caliban.

A. S. Byatt Novelist

Of course on air I use occasional hyperbole to tell a story.

Adam Carolla Comedian
