Fallschirm / Parachute Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Fallschirm / Parachute:

I did not just fall in love. I made a parachute jump. Zora Neale Hurston

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

Just because nobody complains doesn't mean all parachutes are perfect.

Benny Hill

I was a pilot and flying hang gliders, paragliders, aerobatics airplanes, and then I discovered skydiving. Free fall. Free. With nothing around you, just a parachute on your back. And you go down. But you don't feel like you're going down. Total freedom.

Yves Rossy

The scenes in the show were filmed with a crew of really excellent stunt jumpers, but we had the feel of the parachutes, so we could be more realistic in the roles.

Ken Curtis

There was a lake beneath me, but the big, heavy parachute which had to be opened two miles above the ground couldn't be steered. My first thought was, 'Lord, they send just one woman into space, and she has to end up in the water.'

Valentina Tereshkova

I was always very active as a kid. I would climb on roofs and jump off using my parents' bed sheet, hoping it would open like a parachute. I was always getting hurt, breaking a leg, you know, bruising, cracking my head open.

Cathy Rigby

My suit blew up into a parachute. All this water rushed in, there's air, water in there. I was freaking out.

Ryan Lochte

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

One reason, doubtless, why squirrels are so bold and reckless in leaping through the trees is that, if they miss their hold and fall, they sustain no injury. Every species of tree-squirrel seems to be capable of a sort of rudimentary flying, at least of making itself into a parachute, so as to ease or break a fall or a leap from a great height.

John Burroughs

Minds are like parachutes - they only function when open.

Thomas Dewar

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

Rhona Mitra

I have woven a parachute out of everything broken.

William Stafford

Kristen Bell is rare as an actress, because she's the type of actor who jumps out of a plane without a parachute - from a totally fearless place, which is really refreshing and inspiring.

Steve Antin

Take our own company as an example: We're living proof, we jump with our own parachutes.

Jim Barksdale

For me, I guess I'm the acting equivalent of somebody that jumps off buildings and parachutes.

Joaquin Phoenix

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

People often talk about parachute journalism, but one of the skills that you get when you are a correspondent is the ability to look at facts fast and work out what the story is.

Richard Quest

I did not just fall in love. I made a parachute jump.

Zora Neale Hurston

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

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

Life in the twentieth century is like a parachute jump: you have to get it right the first time.

Margaret Mead

When U.S.-based editors and columnists parachute into a news storm, it is often the stringers who keep us out of trouble, helping us glimpse the complexity behind the headlines.

Nancy Gibbs

When that happens - when risk is taken and the filmmakers dive into the subject matter without a parachute - very often what you get it something with those qualities that make it age well with the public.

Francis Ford Coppola

Bigots are actually funny to me in the way that people who still wear parachute pants give me a chuckle.

John Ridley

Often, M.B.A.s will parachute around from one company or industry to another, without really understanding what's behind it.

Henry Mintzberg

All right, then nobody can complain if we ask pregnant women to make parachute jumps.

Muammar al-Gaddafi

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

We've got some real greedy hogs who own no interest in the company they're running, whose sole interest is in whatever it takes to be able to get to the point to fly out on their golden parachute and milk the shareholder and take risks that they shouldn't take.

Joe Jamail

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

Fighting, for me, is like skydiving without the parachute.

Anderson Silva

If you think of the Apollo capsule coming into Earth with a parachute, the Mars atmosphere is just so thin, you've got to find some way of slowing yourself down really rapidly.

Ellen Stofan

I've always been the, 'Sure, I'll try that' guy. I'm very adventurous and don't have fears. I think I got that from my mother's side because she was an Olympic skier. Jump off a mountain with a parachute? Sure. What could possibly go wrong?

Donald Trump, Jr.

I was born in Coney Island. I like to think I fell out of the womb onto the fun park's giant Parachute Jump while eating a Nathan's hot dog.

Harold Feinstein

I love sport and will do just about anything. Someone said they'd had a go at skiing off a mountain with a parachute, and that sounds great!

Victoria Pendleton
