“Si quelqu'un veut un mouton, c'est la preuve qu'il en existe un. (If somebody wants a sheep, that is a proof that one exists.)”
“A single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us.”
“I don't understand these people anymore, that travel the commuter-trains to their dormitory towns. These people that call themselves human, but, by a pressure they do not feel, are forced to do their work like ants. With what do they fill their time when they are free of work on their silly little Sundays? I am very fortunate in my profession. I feel like a farmer, with the airstrips as my fields. Those that have once tasted this kind of fare will not forget it ever. Not so, my friends?”

“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”
“First be sure a thing is wanted or needed, then go ahead.”
More on Challenges
“Biggest problem? Well, I'd say it's been my biggest problem all my life. MONEY. It takes a lot of money to make these dreams come true. From the very start it was a problem.

“There are seldom, if ever, any hopeless situations, but there are many people who lose hope in the face of some situations.”
