Entry 128


The nations of the world will have to unite, for the next war will be an interplanetary war. The nations of the earth must someday make a common front against attack by people from other planets.
General Douglas MacArthur

I believe that these extra-terrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets. Most astronauts were reluctant to discuss UFOs. I did have occasion in 1951 to have two days of observation of many flights of them, of different sizes, flying in fighter formation, generally from east to west over Europe.
Gordon Cooper

Of course the flying saucers are real, and they are interplanetary.
Air Chief Marshall Lord Dowding
Head of Royal Air Force during World War II

It is my thesis that flying saucers are real and that they are space ships from another solar system. There is no doubt in my mind that these objects are interplanetary craft of some sort. I and my colleagues are confident that they do not originate in our solar system.
Dr. Herman Oberth
Father of modern rockerty

Unknown objects are operating under intelligent control. It is imperative that we learn where UFOs come from and what their purpose is. I can tell you, behind the scenes, high ranking military officers are soberly concerned about the UFOs.
Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter
Former Director of the C.I.A.

All Apollo and Gemini flights were followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite closely, by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin - flying saucers, or UFOs, if you want to call them by that name. Every time it occurred, the astronauts informed Mission Control, who then ordered absolute silence.
Maurice Chatelain
Former chief of NASA Communications Systems.

At no time, when the astronauts were in space were they alone: there was a constant surveillance by UFOs.
NASA's Scott Carpenter

Entry 127





If gays are granted rights, next we'll have to give rights to prostitutes and to people who sleep with St. Bernards and to nailbiters.
Anita Bryant

What is marriage but prostitution to one man instead of many?
ANGELA CARTER

Writing is like prostitution. First you do it for love, and then for a few close friends, and then for money.
Moliere

Entry 126

If my doctor told me I had only six minutes to live, I wouldn't brood. I'd type a little faster.
Isaac Asimov

Dying is a very dull, dreary affair. And my advice to you is to have nothing whatever to do with it.
W. Somerset Maugham
To himself everyone is immortal; he may know that he is going to die, but he can never know that he is dead.
Samuel Butler
The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
Mark Twain
'Tis very certain the desire of life prolongs it.
Lord Byron

Entry 125


For what is it to die, but to stand in the sun and melt into the wind?
Kahlil Gibran


People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darnkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Entry 124

A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.
Buddha
Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.
Buddha
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.
Buddha
Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.
Buddha
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
Buddha
