I suffer much less than many of my colleagues. I am perfectly able to go to Australia and film within three hours of arrival. ↗

I had always planned to make a large painting of the early spring, when the first leaves are at the bottom of the trees, and they seem to float in space in a wonderful way. But the arrival of spring can't be done in one picture. ↗

I had a dream the other night,” Prospect says. He looks at Lito. “You were in it.” “I was?” The young man is clearly flattered. “Yes, you were.” “What happened. In the dream?” “We were wandering through the cafeteria of Infinity in the middle of the night. It was dark and scary, so we opened a door and started climbing the stairs. The stairs went on forever but finally we got to the top. We were at a special place high above the city.” “Cool. Were there time travel machines and Cyborgs and cool shit like that?” “No Cyborgs. We were on the rooftop of Infinity. We looked out over the sparkling city. It was beautiful. We wanted to be part of it all. And so we did what we thought we had to do: we jumped.” “Oh man. Dang. Did we splatter on the sidewalk?” “We didn’t fall. We hovered. And then we flew.” “We flew? Sweet.” This is Prospect’s final gift to Lito. A story about the two of them. A story about the future. ↗

Hunger and sex still dominate the primitive mammalian side of human existence, but at the present time it looks as if humanity were within sight of their satisfaction. Permanent plenty, no longer a Utopian dream, awaits the arrival of permanent peace. ↗

I'm lucky, I can sleep from takeoff until we land; so I'm fresh, rested and ready to work on arrival. ↗

The vast concourse of people who had assembled to witness the triumphant arrival of the successful travellers was of the lowest orders of mechanics and artisans, among whom great distress and a dangerous spirit of discontent with the government at that time prevailed. ↗

The arrival of a good clown exercises a more beneficial influence upon the health of a town than of twenty asses laden with drugs. ↗

Especially with the signing of riders with climbing abilities and the new arrival of Tyler Hamilton, who has the strength and ability to become a great leader for the big tours. All in all, I feel this is a very complete team. ↗

In life there is nothing more unexpected and surprising than the arrivals and departures of pleasure. If we find it in one place today, it is vain to seek it there tomorrow. You can not lay a trap for it. ↗
