And I realized, when I'd come in to the meetings with these corrugated metal and chain link stuff, and people would just look at me like I'd just landed from Mars. But I couldn't do anything else. That was my response to the people and the time.
I'd work to make it hip again to spend time in our fabled and fabulous land. But with a Puerto Rican father and a Jewish mother, I would probably be better suited as mayor of New York.
Proposing inner-life solutions to our political and economic catastrophes is something done, say the critics, only by people who've spent more time in la-la land than in the 'real world.'
With every inch of land on Earth now catalogued by our satellites, the stars are the next place we as a species must travel. And with a booming world population that will hit 9.1 billion in 2050, large-scale space travel may become a necessity.
Jeff McCallister: [chucking his bag full of stuff from the top of the stairs to the bottom floor] Bombs away! [the bag lands at the neighborhood officer's feet]
[after commandeering a plane] Professor Henry Jones: I didn't know you could fly a plane. Indiana Jones: Fly, yes. Land, no.
[to Indiana, while watching a Nazi parade and book burning] Professor Henry Jones: My son, we're pilgrims in an unholy land.
Perry: I'd understand if you wanted to take a swing at me... Perry: [Harry lands a quick punch to Perry's chin] You fuck!
Gavroche: This is the land I fought for liberty, now when we fight, we fight for bread... here is the thing about equality, everyone's equal when they're dead.
Chiki: Do you even know what's the difference between a pessimist and an optimist? Nino: No, what? Chiki: A pessimist thinks things can't be worse. An optimist knows they can.
Eli: [immediately after landing in the front room after crashing his car into the house] Where's my shoe? [on cue, Dudley retrieves his shoe]
James Bond: [a mirror on Land Rover's right door falls] That's all right. You weren't using it. Eve: [makes left mirror fall] I wasn't using that one, either.
Hoban 'Wash' Washburn: This landing is gonna get pretty interesting. Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: Define "interesting". Hoban 'Wash' Washburn: [deadpan] Oh God, oh God, we're all going to die?
Dale: [after a spear lands between his legs] I never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad I'm not hung like a bear.
Often, investors will discover a manager after he's had a terrific run, usually when he lands on a magazine cover somewhere. Invariably, funds swell up with new investor money just before they revert to their long-term averages.
I've been busy for years, buying land, often under pseudonyms, and planting trees on it. All the money is going into it when I die - and in the end I'd like to think that it will be 20 to 30,000 acres.

I think ultimately, bringing more nature back into the city is a way to deal with urban sprawl and things like that. If the cities feel a little more natural, people like to live there more rather than moving out and dividing up another piece of land...
People have a very proprietary relationship with Superman. It's important to respect the iconography and the canon, but at the same time, you have to tell a story. Once you land on who you think the character is and what his conflicts are, you have t...
I was pleasantly disappointed on entering Bohemia. Instead of a dull, uninteresting country, as I expected, it is a land full of the most lovely scenery. There is every thing which can gratify the eye - high blue mountains, valleys of the sweetest pa...
Most of Roosevelt's innovations have been the law of the land for 70 years now, and yet we are still a free society free enough, that is, to allow tens of thousands of protesters to gather on the National Mall and to broadcast their slogans and speec...
