## Quotes

* Life is no straight and easy corridor along which we travel free and unhampered, but a maze of passages, through which we must seek our way, lost and confused, now and again checked in a blind alley. But always, if we have faith, a door will open for us, not perhaps one that we ourselves would ever have thought of, but one that will ultimately prove good for us.
** As quoted in Knight's Treasury of Illustrations (1956), p. 149
* Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, but only saps today of its strength.
** As quoted in Today's Gift : Daily Meditations for Families (1985) by Hazelden Publishing, p. 11

## Quotes

* Perhaps it may be asked—is there then no limit? Can we equally go back to 3000 or even 4000 BCE? ... The highest possible date for the Vedic deities, and of many elements of Vedic culture, not to speak of possible reminiscences of older periods, is a very different matter.

* As a result of its generous stand [Robert Maynard Hutchins’ controversial policy of admitting students after their second year of high-school], the University of Chicago’s undergraduate college acts as the greatest magnet for neurotic juveniles since the Children’s Crusade, with Robert Maynard Hutchins…playing the role of Stephen the Shepherd Boy.

** The New Yorker, March 28, 1953, quoted in David Remnick, "Reporting It All: A.J. Liebling at 100", The New Yorker, March 29, 2004.
* The subject [of Stalin's death] permitted a rare blend of invective and speculation—both Hearst papers, as I recall, ran cartoons of Stalin being rebuffed at the gates of Heaven, where Hearst had no correspondents—and I have seldom enjoyed a week of newspaper reading more.

## Quotes about A.J. Liebling

* As A. J. Liebling wrote: "Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one." Today, a handful of multinational corporations own much of the media and control what the American people see, hear, and read. This is a direct threat to American democracy. It is an issue we cannot continue to ignore.

## Quotes

* "Hundreds of babies are fed and washed and wrapped in warm, new baby flannels and placed back again into grateful mothers' arms. All day and all night they come, one constant stream from evacuated towns, with tales too pitiful to listen to, and yet always with courtesy and graciousness that almost shames."

** Newman worked at a YMCA canteen in France during World War I, serving both refugees and military personnel.

** "The Silent Voices" Dearborn Independent (November 8, 1919): 5.
* "From the horror of dead and wounded that I saw in just my little corner of war work, my mind is constantly seeking to escape. Again I see the sad, appealing eyes of the terribly disfigured men in the face and jaw hospital in Paris. Again I hear the call: 'Clear the way for the blind!' and see our sightless boys slowly making their way down the gangplank to their homeward-bound ships at Brest. And the armless ones and legless ones! And the insane! How many thousands of such has this war made!"
** "The Silent Voices" Dearborn Independent (November 8, 1919): 5.

# B-17 Flying Fortress

The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress is a four-engine heavy bomber aircraft developed in the 1930s for the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC). Competing against Douglas and Martin for a contract to build 200 bombers, the Boeing entry outperformed both competitors and exceeded the Air Corps' expectations. Although Boeing lost the contract because the prototype crashed, the Air Corps was so impressed with Boeing's design that they ordered 13 more B-17s for further evaluation. From its introduction in 1938, the B-17 Flying Fortress evolved through numerous design advances

## Quotes

* The mightiest ever built
** Description of a B-17 by a member of the Eighth Army Air Force
* Why, it's a flying fortress!
** Richard Williams, reporter for the Seattle Times, upon seeing a B-17
* Without the B-17, we might have lost the war.
** General Carl Spaatz, Commander, US Strategic Air Forces in Europe, 1944
* She was a Stradivarius of an airplane...
** Colonel Robert K. Morgan, pilot of the Memphis Belle
* The plane can be cut and slashed almost to pieces by enemy fire and bring its crew home.

* This B-17 met a head-on attack by three Focke Wulf Fw 190 fighters. The gunners exploded two of them, and the top turret poured a stream of shells into the cockpit of the third. With a dead man at the controls, the fighter screamed in, and at a closing speed of 550 miles per hour smashed head-on into the number-three engine.
* The tremendous impact of the crash tore off the propeller. It knocked the heavy bomber completely out of formation as though a giant hand has swatted a fly. The fighter cartwheeled crazily over the B-17.
* It cut halfway through the wing, and then sliced a third of the way through the horizontal stabilizer. The top and ball turrets immediately jammed, the radio equipment was smashed to wreckage, and all the instruments "went crazy." Pieces of metal from the exploding, disintegrating Focke Wulf tore through the fuselage, and a German gun barrel buried itself in the wall between the radio room and the bomb bay.
* Crews of nearby bombers watched the collision. They saw a tremendous explosion, and the bomber hurtling helplessly out of control, tumbling as she fell. They reported when they returned to base that the Flying Fortress had blown up, and that the crew must be considered dead.
* The old Queen hadn't blown up, and the crew was far from dead. The pilots struggled wildly in the cockpit, and somehow between them, managed to bring their careening bomber back under control. The gunners shot down a fourth fighter that had closed in to watch the proceedings.
* And then they brought her all the way back to England, and scraped her down for a belly landing on the runway.
** Postscript: not a man was injured.
** Martin Caidin, in his book Black Thursday
(1960)
* Although the GHQ Air Force 'strongly recommended' that only one B-17 be procured, it was not to get its way.
** Roger Freeman, The B-17 Flying Fortress Story, 1998. [Pg. 15]

But it's the price that I have to pay to get my music out and to be here today. And it's normal because everybody will go through it.
** Asa speaks with Channel TV on the challenges artistes face and the prices they have to pay.
* I think artistes are humans as well. Even though they possess special gifts. They're also humans that go through what you go through every day. They have aches and they fall ill.

** Asa opens up on the challenges celebrities face during an interview with Channels TV.
* We'll never forget this year. But I think every day of my life has always been a lock-down. I'm usually almost in isolation all the time. So this time it wasn't very hard for me. It was like I've lived this every day of my life. I actually enjoyed and got to see what actual silence means; where I didn't have boats on the water and we could see fishes jumping out. And the birds were out, the sky was blue. You didn't hear the sound of cars. It was surreal.

## Quotes

* A lay follower should not engage in five types of business. Which five? Business in weapons, business in human beings, business in meat, business in intoxicants, and business in poison.
** Vanijja Sutta, Anguttara Nikāya 5.177, as translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
* ‘Gain and loss, renown and disgrace,
       criticism and praise, happiness and unhappiness—
    These qualities are impermanent in human life,
       inconstant, liable to change.
    But, mindful, the sage knows them;
       he observes how they are liable to change.
    Desirable things do not upset his mind,
       nor is there resistance to the undesirable;
    His likes and dislikes have vanished,
       gone away, and exist no more.
    Having known the place that is stainless, free of grief,
       he has crossed beyond existence.’

## About

* “I think this movie sort of goes above just being a shark movie. What initially attracted both of us to this was, and what I find far more terrifying is the prospect and premise of drowning, of running out of air and it’s a race against the clock. Like, that to me, ugh, is like my greatest fear. That’s far more terrifying than sharks, which are terrifying enough. And I love that this film, it’s about a confluence all those things.
