My tunes and numbers are here. They have filled my years, the years when I refused to die. And in order to do that I wrote, I wrote, I wrote, at noon or 3:00 A.M. So as not to be dead.

If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you'll never learn.

See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream.

I don't try to describe the future. I try to prevent it.

I feel I'm doing what I should've done a lifetime ago. For a little while I'm not afraid. Maybe it's because I'm doing the right thing at last. Maybe it's because I've done a rash thing and don't want to look the coward to you.

When a man talks from his heart, in his moment of truth, he speaks poetry.

Space travel is life-enhancing, and anything that's life-enhancing is worth doing. It makes you want to live forever.
