Laurel Halo quotes

Playing behind a first-ballot Hall of Famer, who also is the all-time record holder for consecutive starts by a quarterback, it's a different mind-set. You just have to challenge yourself in ways that you never challenged yourself before.

Creating something new is easy, creating something that lasts is the challenge.

History is made every day. The challenge is getting everyone to pay attention to it.

For humans, flying isn't magic, it's physics.

Disneyworld...is a historical reconstruction as sanitised as the Kremlin's, and a future vision as uncognisant of contemporary pointers as Peter Pan's. It is a magic carpet under which everything has been swept.

The best magic always results from ecstasies of logic.
