Margaret Mead

Life, Time, Century

Zora Neale Hurston

I have woven a parachute out of everything broken.
William Stafford

Everything, Broken, Woven

Instead of putting someone in prison for being a hooligan, give him a choice. He may have beaten someone up and he's got eight years, but tell him you can do eight years inside or spend five years in the Army. Put him in the Parachute Regiment, they'd soon sort him out.
David Bailey

Someone, May, Him

Sally Ride

Wrong, Off, Goes

Muammar al-Gaddafi

Women, Ask, Nobody

In my teens, I joined the Parachute Regiment. I jumped out of lots of airplanes, as much as the Government budget would allow us to. I did two active tours of duty: Northern Ireland, and then the Falklands war.
Mark Burnett

War, Government, Two

Water, Air, Suit

Coming down under a parachute is quite different as well. You hit the ground pretty hard, but all the systems work very well to keep it from hurting, so it doesn't even hurt when you hit. It was a great experience to be able to do both.
Leroy Chiao

Work, Great, Experience

Cathy Rigby

Hurt, Parents, Off

I certainly remember building model rockets. It was fun to watch the rocket blast into the air, suspenseful to wonder if the parachute would open to bring the rocket safely back.
Eric Allin Cornell

Fun, Remember, Wonder

But I've never really done anything that implies any kind of danger. I wouldn't skydive, I wouldn't deep sea dive, I wouldn't parachute. I think you're really just rolling the dice. Who packed your chute the night before?
Eugene Levy

Deep, Done, Night

Ninety-nine percent of pilots that go up never have engine failure, and the 1 percent that do usually land it. But if you're up in the air and something goes wrong, you pull that parachute, and the whole plane goes down slowly.
Cory Lidle

Failure, Down, Wrong

I got quite bored when I was hanging in the air. I want to do it without a parachute next.
Rhona Mitra

Bored, Next, Quite

To tell her that I joined the parachute club was too hard for me. I didn't want to trouble her; besides, I was not completely sure about the success of my new adventure.
Valentina Tereshkova

Success, Hard, Tell

My favorite records are, like, The Pretty Things' 'Parachute' and 'S.F. Sorrow' and The Mothers of Invention's 'We're Only in It for the Money' and The Kinks' 'Village Green Preservation Society' - these records that have a story - even if it's not a literal story - because of how they're sequenced and flow. It's like a novel with sound.
Ty Segall

Money, Society, Pretty
