“Miracles will happen as we trip. But we're never gonna survive, unless…
We get a little crazy”

Seal (musician) (1963) British singer-songwriter

"Crazy"
Seal (1991)
Context: A man decides after seventy years,
That what he goes there for, is to unlock the door.
While those around him criticize and sleep...
And through a fractal on a breaking wall,
I see you my friend, and touch your face again.
Miracles will happen as we trip. But we're never gonna survive, unless...
We get a little crazy

“I don't believe in this nonsense about time. Time is just common, it's like water for a fish. Everybody's in this water, nobody gets out of it, or if he does the same thing happens to him that happens to the fish, he dies. And you know what happens in this water, time? The big fish eat the little fish. That's all. The big fish eat the little fish and the ocean doesn't care.”

“When you're getting ready to launch into space, you're sitting on a big explosion waiting to happen.”

Sally Ride (1951–2012) American physicist and astronaut

Scholastic interview (1998)
Context: When you're getting ready to launch into space, you're sitting on a big explosion waiting to happen. By sally ride. So most astronauts getting ready to lift off are excited and very anxious and worried about that explosion — because if something goes wrong in the first seconds of launch, there's not very much you can do.
