“In the intimacy of Ebbets Field it was a short trip from the grandstand to the fantasy you were in the game.”

“When the wind blew from the south and the French doors had been opened, the sound of cheering carried from Ebbets Field into the apartment. It was astonishing, to hear cheers from a major league crowd while sitting at home.”

Roger Kahn (1927–2020) American baseball writer

“Trochee trips from long to short;
From long to long in solemn sort
Slow Spondee stalks.”

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834) English poet, literary critic and philosopher

“When I see dads being most effective with children, it is usually when they have an intuitive understanding that, for example, the car trip to and from the soccer game is potentially as important as the game itself.”

Warren Farrell (1943) author, spokesperson, expert witness, political candidate

“Commitment often means that a woman achieves her primary fantasy, while a man gives his up. In exchange for forfeiting his primary fantasy, what does he hope to fulfill? His primary need: intimacy.”

Warren Farrell (1943) author, spokesperson, expert witness, political candidate

“The common purpose of pornography is to enhance sexual pleasure or sexual fantasy. It is meant to be free of things like guilt, insecurity, anger or responsibility. It can also be detached from the struggles of intimacy. I chose to use imagery common in pornography but placed these images in the emotional context which included intense guilt, anger, regret, anguish, and confusion. In this context, it is difficult for the images to enhance sexual pleasure or sexual fantasy. Instead, the graphic images work better to enhance the discomfort of intimacy.”

Vincent Gallo (1961) American film director, writer, model, actor and musician

“Really life is a short trip. We are all passengers, there is no rest even after death.”

Mwanandeke Kindembo (1996) Congolese author

“What the hell is Dianetics and Scientology? It’s a religion. A religion of self. It’s one man’s religion. One man’s labyrinth. A trip of L. Ron Hubbard’s. A trip he lays on everyone else as ‘the trip,’ their trip, your trip. A science fiction story he wrote and forced into reality within the heads of others by the will of L. Ron Hubbard. The self-created fantasy of one man brought to deadly reality for others by a simple word: agreement.”

Ronald DeWolf (1934–1991) American critic of Scientology

“You always start with a fantasy. Part of the fantasy technique is to visualize something as perfect. Then with the experiments you work back from the fantasy to reality, hacking away at the components.”

Edwin H. Land (1909–1991) American scientist and inventor

“On game shows, some people will take the trip to France, but most people will take the washer and dryer pair.”
