![Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am in the position of a pilot without his checklist, so I'll have to wing it a bit. ... [Prior to the Apollo missions, ] no one knew what kind of person could be persuaded to take the trip. Prisoners were suggested. Soldiers could be ordered. Photographers could take pictures - and they're expendable. Doctors understood the limits of human physiology. Finally, both sides picked pilots.

I don't see any moral difference between a suicide bomber and somebody in a F-16 fighter jet who fires a missile into an apartment complex and then kills 10 or 15 little girls and boys. I don't see much difference there. In fact, I think the pilot is a greater offender, you know, he's getting medals, while the suicide bomber is sacrificing his life for what he believes in. But I don't agree with either approach. I'm absolutely opposed to any sort of terrorism. (...) But if you call Hezbollah a terrorist organization, then you must call Israel a terrorist organization.
David Duke
The important thing is not that the unconscious determines neurosis- of that one Freud can quite happily, like Pontius Pilot, wash his hands. Sooner or later, something would have been found, humeral determinate, for example- for Freud, it would be quite immaterial. For what the unconscious does it to show us the gap through which neurosis recreates a harmony with a real- a real that may not be determined.
Jacques Lacan
Been on the river thirty years, York. Rafted down to New Orleans when I was just a boy, and worked flatboats and keelboats both before steamers. I been a pilot and a mate and a striker, even a mud clerk. Been everything there is to be in this business, but one thing I never been, and that's a sharper.
George R. R. Martin
