Declare war on passivity. Hush the inner voice that insists you're over the hill, past your prime, unworthy of attaining those dreams. Disbelief is now the enemy, as is the notion of settling. Get hungry- hyena hungry. Get fired up. Find your backbone, and your wings. Flap 'em. It's the only way you'll be able to fly.

J. C. Hutchins

You are too free and untamable to be labeled.

Steve Pavlina

Mandelstam - his gift and the untamable nature of it - was like a thorn in Stalin's brain.

Christian Wiman

Michael Jordan

Madness, in its wild, untamable words, proclaims its own meaning; in its chimeras, it utters its secret truth.

Michel Foucault

No bill of sexual rights can hold its own against the lawless, untamable landscape of the erotic imagination.

Daphne Merkin

Some people said, “we don't want to risk astronauts lives anymore, we need to stop doing this”. The astronauts don't feel that wayWe fly for our country, we fly for humanity, we fly for exploration, we fly for a variety of reasons, and we don't stop flying because we have accidents.

Eileen Collins

When I fly to European destinations, I always fly economy; I don't fly business class - there is no advantage apart from a few more inches of room.

Peter Hargreaves

You will always be a hyena.

Arthur Rimbaud

We're told that to be fly, you gotta have a fly car, the rims on your wheels, the fly jewels, and that to work a regular job and make legal money is uncool.

Missy Elliott

Do let's pretend that I'm a hungry hyena, and you're a bone!

Lewis Carroll

When the winds of adversity come, remember one thing--kites fly the very highest against the wind. Kites don't fly in spite of opposition, kites fly high because of opposition. In fact, they couldn't fly without opposition.

John By

I was making pancakes the other day and a fly flew into the kitchen. And that's when I realized that a spatula is a lot like a fly-swatter. And a crushed fly is a lot like a blueberry. And a roommate is a lot like a fly eater.

Demetri Martin

For many years in my laboratory and other laboratories around the world, we've been studying fly behaviors in little flight simulators. You can tether a fly to a little stick. You can measure the aerodynamic forces it's creating. You can let the fly play a little video game by letting it fly around in a visual display.

Michael Dickinson

We slander the hyena; man is the fiercest and cruelest animal.

Henry David Thoreau
