Although I am new in the business, my team is not. I would say that, person for person, there has never been a better rocket company in existence, in history. I don't think there has ever been a group this talented in one place, in one company, developing a rocket – ever. If you have millions of dollars it changes your lifestyle, and anyone who says differently is talking ########. I don't need to work, from a standard of living point of view, but I do, you know. I work every day and on weekends and I haven't taken a vacation for years. (Elon Musk)
Yes, but there is the problem. It would have been banal. Mediocre. We had been trained to despise everything which was not excellent. How disgusting to see the father of one of our classmates or friends on vacation playing cards or, even worse, siting on the sofa watching television. We blush with shame for our unfortunate little friend. View quote
André Weil
Tucker: You guys going to Milwaukee? Guy: Yes sir, heading home after a vacation. Tucker: Did you know there are midgets in Milwaukee? [The man and his wife are silent and confused.] Tucker: HUNDREDS OF THEM! View quote
Tucker Max
When did you last bask in the sun, friends? When did you last dare drink from a creek? When did you last risk picking fruit and eating it straight from the tree? What were your doctor's bills last year? Which of you live in cities where you don't wear a filtermask? Which of you spent this year's vacation in the mountains because the sea is fringed with garbage? View quote
John Brunner
This year we take our vacation somewhere else. Where is there where Americans aren't likely to be stoned by a howling mob? Spain, Greece? No, got to be out of range of the stench from the Med. Looks like we might as well stay home. View quote
John Brunner
Her body and her mind were sluggish and lazy, and deep down she fought a tired envy of the people who, so she thought, experienced good things while she went through life a gray cloud in a gray room. Having few actual perceptions, she lived by rules. Education is good. Self-control is necessary. Everything in its time and place. Travel is broadening. And it was this last axiom which had forced her finally on the vacation to Mexico. View quote
John Steinbeck
I learned a long time ago that trying to micromanage the perfect vacation is always a disaster. That leads to terrible times. View quote
Anthony Bourdain
I envy people who can just look at a sunset. I wonder how you can shoot it. There is nothing more grotesque to me than a vacation. View quote
Dustin Hoffman
Audiences who have been forced to wade through the thick middle-class padding of more expensively made movies to get to the action enjoy the nose-thumbing at "good taste" of cheap movies that stick to the raw materials. At some basic level they like the pictures to be cheaply done, they enjoy the crudeness; it's a breather, a vacation from proper behavior and good taste and required responses. Patrons of burlesque applaud politely for the graceful erotic dancer but go wild for the lewd lummox who bangs her big hips around. That's what they go to burlesque for. View quote
Pauline Kael
I've been thinking of combustication as a welcome vacation from the burdens of planet Earth - like gravity, hypocrisy, the perils of being in 3-D, and thinking so much differently. View quote
Brandon Boyd
It's the end of the world. I was excited by the whole situation. Well, if everybody is going to die, die hard, shit, but what do I know? Is this an atomic bomb--the end of the world--the end of the millennium? No more fear of being fired--for typos or tardiness--digressions or recessions--and what a way of being fired--bursting into flames--without two weeks notice--and without six months of unemployment--and without sick leave, vacation, or comp time--without a word of what was to come--on a glorious morning--when nature ran indifferent to the course of man--there came a point when that sunny sky turned into a hellhole of a night-with papers, computers, windows, bricks, bodies falling, and people running and screaming. (On September 11th terrorist attacks.) (Giannina Braschi)
A writer never has a vacation. For a writer, life consists of either writing or thinking about writing. View quote
Eugène Ionesco
We got email today from an LGF reader who was browsing the Lexis research system and discovered that anti-American, anti-capitalist icon Noam Chomsky has embarrassingly capitalist tastes; among other expensive property he owns a 36,155 square foot home near Cambridge, a 13,503 square foot vacation home, and four boats. And we won't even mention the cars. Teaching kids to hate their own country seems to pay quite well. View quote
Charles Foster Johnson
What do I want to take home from my summer vacation? Time. The wonderful luxury of being at rest. The days when you shut down the mental machinery that keeps life on track and let life simply wander. The days when you stop planning, analyzing, thinking and just are. Summer is my period of grace. View quote
Ellen Goodman
I have liberal friends. They are misguided, they are wrong. I disagree with them. I don't want them to vote. I want them to go on vacation in November. View quote
Sean Hannity
I have just finished one painting and am already at work on the preliminary drawings for the next one. I must do something in order to get rid of such habits or I won't manage to find time for any vacation. I have had this new painting in my mind since January, and must get it down on canvas. View quote
Wassily Kandinsky
If some people didn't tell you, you'd never know they'd been away on a vacation. View quote
Kin Hubbard
Reading... a vacation for the mind.... View quote
Dave Barry
What Dad means by "see" of course, is "drive past at 67 miles per hour." Dad feels it is a foolish waste of valuable vacation time to get out of the car and actually go look at an attraction. View quote
Dave Barry
I'm a Catholic, but I used to love going to Vacation Bible School with my fundamentalist friends. View quote
Paul Begala
It is not more vacation we need - it is more vocation. (Eleanor Roosevelt)
I think the best vacation is the one that relieves me of my own life for a while and then makes me long for it again. View quote
Ann Patchett
Most people spend more time planning a one-week vacation than they spend planning their life. View quote
Michael Hyatt
Sadly, I have met very few people who have a plan for their life. Most are passive spectators, watching their lives unfold, one day at a time. They are reactive rather than proactive. They may plan their careers, the building of a new home, or even a vacation. But it never occurs to them to plan their life. View quote
Michael Hyatt
When you see yourself on video, you and your friends spending time on vacation, and they take a video, and then you see it, it's really disturbing. View quote
Marion Cotillard
