• A medida que empezamos a planificar una nueva sociedad humana, necesitamos fomentar valores comunes sobre el aire limpio, el agua y otros elementos de autosustento. Éstos, junto con un inventario completo de los recursos de la Tierra, constituirán la base de un enfoque holístico de la toma de decisiones cibernética.

• Además, la sensación de seguridad que ofrece el agua embotellada es un espejismo. Resulta que respirar, y no beber, constituye nuestra principal vía de exposición a los contaminantes volátiles del agua del grifo, como disolventes, pesticidas y subproductos de la cloración del agua. En cuanto se tira de la cadena o se abre el grifo -o la bañera, la ducha, el humidificador, la lavadora-, estos contaminantes abandonan el agua y pasan al aire. Un estudio reciente demuestra que la forma más eficaz de exponerse a los contaminantes químicos del agua del grifo es encender el lavavajillas.

• Inanimate objects are sometimes parties to litigation. A ship has a legal personality, a fiction found useful for maritime purposes. The corporation sole - a creature of ecclesiastical law - is an acceptable adversary, and large fortunes ride on its cases... So it should be as respects valleys, alpine meadows, rivers, lakes, estuaries, beaches, ridges, groves of trees, swampland, or even air that feels the destructive pressures of modern technology and modern life.

• It is therefore absurd to approach the subject of health piecemeal with a departmentalized band of specialists. A medical doctor uninterested in nutrition, in agriculture, in the wholesomeness of mind and spirit is as absurd as a farmer who is uninterested in health. Our fragmentation of this subject cannot be our cure, because it is our disease. The body cannot be whole alone. Persons cannot be whole alone. It is wrong to think that bodily health is compatible with spiritual confusion or cultural disorder, or with polluted air and water or impoverished soil.

• It may be that the invention of the aeroplane flying-machine will be deemed to have been of less material value to the world than the discovery of Bessemer and open-hearth steel, or the perfection of the telegraph, or the introduction of new and more scientific methods in the management of our great industrial works. To us, however, the conquest of the air, to use a hackneyed phrase, is a technical triumph so dramatic and so amazing that it overshadows in importance every feat that the inventor has accomplished.

• Pertenezco a un grupo de hombres que vuelan solos. Sólo hay un asiento en la cabina de un avión de combate. No hay espacio para que otro piloto sintonice las radios en caso de mal tiempo o haga las llamadas a los centros de control del tráfico aéreo o ayude con los procedimientos de emergencia o cancele la aproximación final a baja velocidad. No hay nadie más para romper la soledad de un largo vuelo campo a través. No hay nadie más para tomar decisiones.

• I want to be like the air. The good-hearted person whose kindness overflows and people realize how important she was to them, once she is gone. I want to be that kind of person.

• Creative energy manifests in the 'aura' of the environment - the distinct atmosphere, quality and 'air of the place.' It has a contagious effect on people. When we walk into the environment, we know immediately whether or not the energy is present. Most of us need communities as sources of motivation and vitality; and in keeping with the basic movements of energy in nature, people charge one another in positive and negative ways.

• Once I learned how to talk, personally, by myself to any number of people, which means do radio without talking to anyone in particular on the air - I just found that my brain became very free to engage in a sort of stream-of-consciousness style of doing what I do.

• In the minds of many Western politicians, military interventions and air strikes appear to have become legitimate policy tools since the NATO attacks on Yugoslavia during the 1990s. That's how they intend to bring everyone into line who don't share the Western view of democratization of society and the liberalization of the economy. But there is no future for that kind of globalization.

• When I started out, I was a television writer, and we wrote a television show that was on live every week. And you didn't have the luxury of coming in and waiting to be inspired. You came in and you had to write. And you wrote, because it was going to be live on the air. So I can do that.

• Modeling is a very hard job. I know that sounds like a really shallow thing to say, but you have people pulling on your hair all day, telling you what to do, fitting you, telling you to bend over, hitting you, taking your shoes off, throwing you up against a wall - it's a lot. You have to really be able to handle yourself and bring something. It's not just enough to have a cute body and jump up in the air and go, "wow!"

• People say that I'm a tree hugger, but I do a lot more than hug trees. I like having my drinking water without faecal matter, that's really nice. Or acceptable levels of strychnine. I'm an air breather, I've gotten used to that over the years.

• Whenever I watched this movie ["How to Train Your Dragon"], I thought, "That's where I want to be. I want to be up in that sky. I want to be flying through the clouds and be living in that environment." So I think if I had a dragon, I would spend most of my time up in the air all over the place and taking in this beautiful planet.

• Everything we play when we are growing up, is team related. In this game (of golf) you can find all the answers yourself. You don't need to throw the ball in the air and play catch with yourself. You get a bucket of balls and go out there with your clubs, and you hit and learn and you get better. And there's no top.

• Por primera vez volaba con propulsión a chorro. Sin vibraciones del motor. Sin torsión ni sonido de latigazos de la hélice. Acompañado de un silbido, mi jet surcaba el aire. Más tarde, cuando me preguntaron qué sentía, dije: "Sentía como si los ángeles empujaran".

• What of the Wright boys in Dayton? Just around the corner they had a shop and did a bicycle business-and they wanted to fly for the sake of flying. They were Man the Seeker, Man on a Quest. Money was their last thought, their final absent-minded idea. They threw out a lot of old mistaken measurements and figured new ones that stood up when they took off and held the air and steered a course. They proved that "the faster you go the less power you need."
