• People tend to think astronauts have the courage of a superhero - or maybe the emotional range of a robot.

• Like the rainbow, peace rests upon the earth, but its arch is lost in heaven.

  Charles Caleb Colton

• I've had pretty much the same crew for all the films that I've made, and I've managed to have really nice, calm, funny people.

• 'Tis sorrow builds the shining ladder up, Whose golden rounds are our calamities, Whereon our firm feet planting, nearer God The spirit climbs, and hath its eyes unsealed. True it is that Death's face seems stern and cold When he is sent to summon those we love; But all God's angels come to us disguised; Sorrow and sickness, poverty and death, One after another, lift their frowning masks, And we behold the Seraph's face beneath, All radiant with the Glory and the calm Of having looked upon the front of God.

  James Russell Lowell

• I think it's almost necessary for most people to have the freedom to pull back, and then re-enter at an adult level, where they are neither playing the victim nor creating victims, but just participating in calm, adult behavior.

Imagine a little more and act a little less.
