Hot Air Balloons Quotes

• After us they'll fly in hot air balloons, coat styles will change, perhaps they'll discover a sixth sense and cultivate it, but life will remain the same, a hard life full of secrets, but happy. And a thousand years from now man will still be sighing, "Oh! Life is so hard!" and will still, like now, be afraid of death and not want to die.

• The weird thing about serious acting is I've always done impressions of people, all my life, and I did the thing called a balloon debate. The idea is there's a hot air balloon traveling across the Atlantic and it's going down and you have to give a speech as to why you should stay in the balloon. Six people are going to be chucked out and you want to stay.

• Mi abuela sólo voló una vez en su vida, y fue el día en que ella y su nuevo marido ascendieron a los cielos del Londres victoriano en la cesta de mimbre de un globo aerostático. Pronto emigrarían a Canadá, y el viaje aéreo debía ser una última vista de su amada Inglaterra.

• And it doesn't matter to me whether you're running a coffee shop or you're an intellectual or you're in business or flying hot air balloons. People who can spread ideas, regardless of what those ideas are, win. But consumers, they got way more choices than they used to and way less time.

• The evening light was like honey in the trees When you left me and walked to the end of the street Where the sunset abruptly ended. The wedding-cake drawbridge lowered itself To the fragile forget-me-not flower. You climbed aboard. Burnt horizons suddenly paved with golden stones, Dreams I had, including suicide, Puff out the hot-air balloon now. It is bursting, it is about to burst

• Un globo aerostático necesita mucho combustible para mantenerse en el aire, por lo que no se puede volar ni siquiera un día. Un globo de gas, que suele utilizar helio, tiene el problema de que el helio se enfría por la noche, cuando no le da el sol, y hay que echar lastre por la borda para que no salga a la superficie.

• Soy ex paracaidista, he saltado de todo tipo de cosas, incluido un globo aerostático. Irónicamente, cuando empecé a hacer paracaidismo, me ponía nervioso no tener el equipo puesto por si el avión se caía, porque no estaba acostumbrado a aterrizar.

• Whether we're fighting climate change or going to space, everything is moved forward by computers, and we don't have enough people who can code. Teaching young people to code early on can help build skills and confidence and energize the classroom with learning-by-doing opportunities. I learned how to fly a hot air balloon when I was 30,000 feet up and my life was in the balance: you can learn skills at any age but why wait when we can teach everyone to code now!

• It may merely be apocryphal that when the Wizard saw the glass bottle he gasped, and clutched his heart. The story is told in so many ways, depending on who is doing the telling, and what needs to be heard at the time. It is a matter of history, however, that shortly thereafter, the Wizard absconded from the Palace. He left in the way he had first arrived-- a hot-air balloon-- just a few hours before seditious ministers were to lead a Palace revolt and to hold an execution without trial.
