“It's like if you're an astronaut and you've been to the moon, what do you want to do with the rest of your life?”

“Mr Churchill, to what do you attribute your success in life?

Conservation of energy. Never stand up when you can sit down. And never sit down when you can lie down.”

“You can look at a picture for a week and never think of it again. You can also look at a picture for a second and think of it all your life”
