“Two thousand years ago, five thousand, they didn't have a word for imagination, and faith was the best they could come up with for a pretty solemn bunch of followers.”

“An author is a writer who didn't give up.”

“if you argue for your limitations they are yours”

“Here's the test to find whether your mission on Earth is finished: if you're alive, it isn't”

“Cehaletimizi kırabiliriz, becerilerimizi, yeteneklerinizi ve zekamızı kullanarak kendimizi bulabilir, kendimiz olabiliriz. En önemlisi, özgür olabiliriz! Uçmayı öğrenebiliriz!”

“Juk smulkmenų ir įvairių detalių taifūne taip lengva pasimesti, paprasčiausiai atidėti į šoną pačius svarbiausius dalykus gyvenime, kai esi įsitikinęs, jog niekas tokiai, į jokią kitą nepanašiai meilei negresia, o paskui vieną gražią dieną supranti, kad visas tavo gyvenimas pavirto į smulkmeną ir tu, laikui bėgant, tapai visiškai svetimas tam, kurį labiausiai mylėjai.”

“Nemalonumai nėra pats blogiausias dalykas, kuris mums gali atsitikti. Baisiausia yra, kai mums NIEKO neatsitinka!”

“Oh, Fletch, you don't love that! You don't love hatred and evil,of course. You have to practice and see the real gull, the good in every one of them, and help them to see it in themselves. That's what I mean by love. It's fun, when you get the knack of it.”

“Sully,for shame!" Jonathan said in reproach, " and don't be foolish! What are we trying to practice everyday? If our friendship depends on things like space and time, we've destroyed our own brotherhood! But overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now. And in the middle of Here and Now, don't you think that we might see each other once or twice?”

“Do you have any idea how many lives we must have gone through before we even got the first idea that there is more to life than eating, or fighting, or power in the Flock? A thousand lives, Jon, ten thousand!”

“The only obligation we have in any lifetime is to be true to ourselves.”

“Neden yalnız bir yabancı gibi tuhaf ve farklı olduğunuzu düşünüyorsunuz? Sizin başınıza gelen sadece henüz ailenizi bulamamış olmanızdır.”

“Yaşamak için ne çok neden var! balıkçı teknelerinin etrafında o rutin, sıkıcı dönüp dolaşmadan başka nedenler de var yaşamak için. cehaletimizi kırabiliriz, becerilerimizi, yeteneklerimizi ve zekamızı kullanarak kendimizi bulabilir, kendimiz olabiliriz. en önemlisi, özgür olabiliriz, uçmayı öğrenebiliriz”

“To begin with, you've got to understand that a seagull is an unlimited idea of freedom, an image of the Great Gull, and your whole body, from wingtip to wingtip, is nothing more than your thought itself.”

“You don't love hatred and evil, of course. You have to practice and see the real gull, the good in every one of them, and to help them see it in themselves. That's what I mean by love.”

“Overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now.”

“To fly as fast as thought, to anywhere that is, you must begin by knowing that you have already arrived.”

“One school is finished, and the time has come for another to begin.”

“-Peki bundan sonra ne olacak? Nereye gidiyoruz? Cennet diye bir yer yok mu?-Hayır Jonathan öyle bir yer yok. O ne bir yer, ne de bir zaman. Cennet, kendinde kusursuzluğu bulmaktır.”

“Ask yourself the secret of your success. Listen to your answer, and practice it.”

“Jonathan Seagull discovered that boredom and fear and anger are the reasons that a gull's life is so short, and with those gone from his thought, he lived a long fine life indeed.”

“el secreto es dejar de verse a sí mismo como prisionero de un cuerpo limitado, rompe las cadenas de tu pensamiento y romperás también las de tu cuerpo”

“pero la velocidad era poder, y la velocidad era gozo y la velocidad era era pura belleza”

“If you love something, set it free; if it comes backs it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was.”

“Prisimeni kosminį dėsnį? Toks tokį traukia. Tiesiog būk koks esi: ramus, šviesus ir giedras. Kai leidžiame sušvisti visai savo esybei, kai kiekvieną minutę klausiame savęs, ar iš tikro norime taip elgtis ir darome tai tik atsakę sau "Taip", tuomet savaime atstumiame nuo savęs tuos, kurie nieko iš mūsų negali išmokti, ir pritraukiame ne tik gebančius mokytis iš mūsų, bet ir tuos, iš kurių patys turime ką perimti.”

“No one does anything uncharacteristic of who they are.”

“Tikrąją tavo šeimą sieja ne kraujo ryšys, o pagarba ir džiaugsmas, kuriuos randate vienas kito gyvenime. Vienos šeimos nariai retai išauga po tuo pačiu stogu.”

“Per gyvenimą tave veda tavyje esanti, ištroškusi mokymosi, žaisminga dvasinė būtybė, kuri ir yra tavo asmenybės esmė. Nenusigręžk nuo jokios galimos ateities prieš tai neįsitikinęs, kad iš jos nėra ko išmokti. Tu visuomet gali laisvai apsispręsti. Gali persigalvoti ir pasirinkti kitokią ateitį arba kitokią praeitį.”

“My airplane is quiet, and for a moment still an alien, still a stranger to the ground, I am home.”

“If we don't accept any common beliefs, we can't exist in spacetime. But when we don't believe in age, at least we don't have to die because our numbers change. [...] When you don't believe in birthdays, the idea of aging turns a little foreign to you. You don't fall into trauma over your sixteenth birthday or your thirtieth or the big Five-Oh or the deadly Century. You measure your life by what you learn, not by counting how many calendars you've seen. If you're going to have trauma, better it be the shock of discovering the fundamental principle of the universe that some date predictable as next July.”

“We are focus-points of consciousness, [...] enormously creative. When we enter the self-constructed hologrammetric arena we call spacetime, we begin at once to generate creativity particles, imajons, in violent continuous pyrotechnic deluge. Imajons have no charge of their own but are strongly polarized through our attitudes and by the force of our choice and desire into clouds of conceptons, a family of very-high-energy particles which may be positive, negative or neutral. [...] Some common positive conceptions are exhilarons, excytons, rhapsodons, jovions. Common negative conceptions include gloomons, tormentons, tribulons, agonons, miserons."Indefinite numbers of conceptions are created in nonstop eruption, a thundering cascade of creativity pouring from every center of personal consciousness. They mushroom into conception clouds, which can be neutral or strongly charged - buoyant, weightless or leaden, depending on the nature of their dominant particles."Every nanosecond an indefinite number of conception clouds build to critical mass, then transform in quantum bursts to high-energy probability waves radiating at tachyon speeds through an eternal reservoir of supersaturated alternate events. Depending on their charge and nature, the probability waves crystallize certain of these potential events to match the mental polarity of their creating consciousness into holographic appearance. [...]"The materialized events become that mind's experience, freighted with all the aspects of physical structure necessary to make them real and learningful to the creating consciousness. This autonomic process is the fountain from which springs every object and event in the theater of spacetime."The persuasion of the imajon hypothesis lies in its capacity for personal verification. The hypothesis predicts that as we focus our conscious intention on the positive and life-affirming, as we fasten our thought on these values, we polarize masses of positive conceptions, realize beneficial probability-waves, bring useful alternate events to us that otherwise would not have appeared to exist."The reverse is true in the production of negative events, as is the mediocre in-between. Through default or intention, unaware or by design, we not only choose but create the visible outer conditions that are most resonant to our inner state of being [...]”

“How can a deer tell when a leaf falls silent in the forest? She hears it breathing differently.”

“Like attracts like. It'll surprise you as long as you live. Choose a love and work to make it true, and somehow something will happen, something you couldn't plan, will come along to move like to like, to set you loose, to set you on the way to your next brick wall.”

“You find what you love and you learn everything about it. You bet your life on what you know and run from safety, off your mountain into the air, trusting the Principle of Flight to bring you soaring up on lift you cannot see with your eyes.”

“Tell him I said that he will know when he's my age that books aren't written on whims or old promises. Books are written on years turned inside out by ideas that never let go until you get them in print, and even then writing's a last resort, a desperate ransom you pay to get your life back.”

“We're the bridge across forever, arching above the sea, adventuring for our pleasure, living mysteries for the fun of it, choosing disasters triumphs challenges impossible odds, testing ourselves over and again, learning love and love and love!”

“You gave your life to become the person you are right now Was it worth it?”

“We choose our next world through what we learn in this one. Learn nothing, and the next world is the same as this one, all the same limitations and lead weights to overcome.”

“And like no other sculpture in the history of art, the dead engine and dead airframe come to life at the touch of a human hand, and join their life with the pilot's own.”

“The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we're afraid.We fear we will not find love,and when we find it we fear we'll lose it. We fear that if we don't have love we will be unhappy.”

“This is a test to see if your mission in this life is complete, if you are alive, it isn't.”

“L'essere ignota non impedisce alla verità d'essere vera.”

“Pour pouvoir voler vous devez croire à l’invisible.”

“Rien n'est miraculeux. Si l'on apprend ce que sait le magicien, il n'y a plus de magie.”

“Civilization... wrecks the planet from seafloor to stratosphere.”

“Right at the beginning, before the pianist could get her wheels up and fly into that storm, she was hit with a con brio, which I figured meant she had to play either with brightness, with coldness, or with cheese.”

“Never stop being a kid, Richard. Never stop feeling and seeing and being excited with great things like air and engines and sounds of sunlight within you. Wear your little mask if you must to protect you from the world but if you let that kid disappear you are grown up and you are dead.”

“Whatever harm I would do to another, I shall do first to myself.As I respect and am kind to myself, so shall I respect and be kind to peers, to elders, to kits.I claim for others the freedom to live as they wish, to think and believe as they will. I claim that freedom for myself.I shall make each choice and live each day to my highest sense of right.”

“Rompe las cadenas de tu pensamiento, y romperás también las cadenas de tu cuerpo”
