• Simplemente no hay manera de que yo pueda entender en la tierra verde de Dios que una compañía aérea pueda llevar a cabo con sus procedimientos normales la operación del Transbordador Espacial. . . . No se ponen paracaídas en los aviones de pasajeros porque el margen de seguridad está incorporado en la máquina. Los aviones 727 que volamos son vehículos probados con niveles de seguridad y redundancia incorporados. El transbordador es un aparato experimental hecho a mano.

• I don't think people would climb mountains or jump off bridges with parachutes or kayak Class V rapids if those things didn't offer the brief and horrible illusion of imminent death. They would just be complicated, time-consuming endeavors that we'd steer well clear of because they got in the way of real life.

• Incluso en esta etapa, mis preparativos eran como atarse un paracaídas en un avión que estaba a punto de estrellarse; todo el tiempo que me preparaba para lanzarme por la puerta, me aferraba a la esperanza de que algo sucedería en el último minuto para evitar esa terrible necesidad que sentía -no hostilidad, como dirían los textos psiquiátricos, ni rabia vengativa, ni deseo de llamar la atención-. Lo hacía en secreto, por la necesidad de aliviar un dolor tan implacable como la sed.

• No soy una persona que corra riesgos físicos. Simplemente no me interesa columpiarme desde la cima de una montaña o deslizarme en paracaídas o esquiar por una caída totalmente vertical. Esas cosas no me interesan lo más mínimo, pero me atrapa tanto el color o la textura de los sonidos de algo. Eso me hace mucha gracia.

• My habit of attacking Huns dangling from their parachutes led to many arguments in the mess. Some officers, of the Eton and Sandhurst type, thought it was 'unsportsmanlike' to do it. Never having been to a public school, I was unhampered by such considerations of form. I just pointed out that there was a bloody war on, and that I intended to avenge my pals.

• Sometimes it is not wise to make a second plan; it diminishes the power of the first plan! In risky paths, make only one plan; this will increase the possibility of success! On the edge of a precipice, if your second plan is a parachute on your back, your possibility of falling will increase! When you have nothing to trust, you will be safer, because you have no right to make any mistake!

No, ni uno.
