I am sure my fellow-scientists will agree with me if I say that whatever we were able to achieve in our later years had its origin in the experiences of our youth and in the hopes and wishes which were formed before and during our time as students.

But these realities will make themselves felt soon enough and while I am certainly not asking you to close your eyes to the experiences of earlier generations, I want to advise you not to conform too soon and to resist the pressure of practical necessity.

People are inclined to say that I am Ramona. I'm not sure that's true, but I did share some experiences with her.

The day I am not able to fly will be a sad day for me.

It is inevitable that many ideas of the young mind will later have to give way to the hard realities of life.

Everybody is improving but I am improving slowly, which seemingly widens our distance.
