I remember staying up quite late and watching the moon landing and the Armstrong/Aldrin moon walk on television. Something I'll never forget. It was amazing.

It was one thing to grow up watching all those sci-fi movies speculating about space travel and visiting other planets, but it was quite another thing to actually watch it happening live before your very eyes.

I don't know what we would have nowadays that would be comparable. It seemed that everyone in the country was glued to their TV sets that night in 1969. And, of course, it was the main topic of conversation for many days to come.

Neil Armstrong was definitely a hero in my eyes, and most everyone else's. He will certainly be missed.

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
