If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down. Ray Bradbury

Love Friendship Time You Business Intelligence Build Cynical Down Our Way Wings Never Well Because Got Cliffs Nonsense Affair Go Intellect Off Jump Love Affair Listened Your

'The Haunted Man' is about communication barriers between men and women, and in that song it's a woman's wait for her husband to come back from war. The vision for me was of a group of men and women on the opposite sides of two cliffs, trying to move or sing to each other and communicate, but they're kind of misfiring. Bat for Lashes

War Me Man Woman Women Communication Song Communicate Vision Wait Men Husband Men And Women Group Other Back Sides Kind About Haunted Between Come Sing Cliffs Opposite Trying Move Barriers Each Her Two

Being a sculptor who uses found objects, all the objects I use in my work have been designed by other people. So I'm tweaking them in some way by squashing them or throwing them off cliffs! Then I formalise my damage by suspending them or arranging them in some kind of way. So I'm using other people's design in a way, so I'm an 'un-maker.' Cornelia Parker

Work People Design Other Way Kind Some Objects Throwing Cliffs Arranging Been Off Being Them Then Sculptor Use Who Tweaking Uses Using Found Designed Damage

A lot of my work has been about stuff I've been frightened of: cliffs, explosions, meteorites, that kind of stuff. I would have been this trembling blob of fear if I hadn't got into making art, which is a good way of deferring it. Cornelia Parker

Venice is truly magical. The Devon-Dorset coast in England is so beautiful, and its sandstone cliffs are full of fossils, which can make for some very exciting walks. And I love Halifax, a great place with all the modern things you could want, plus a wonderful sense of history, and, of course, the sea. Jo Beverley

Love Beautiful Great History You Wonderful Walks Sense Some Plus Magical Great Place Could Exciting Venice Make Course Cliffs Truly Very Wonderful Sense Modern Want Place Which Full Sea Coast England Fossils Things

Dover's cliffs call to mind the Roman invasion; the Battle of Britain; our proximity to, yet difference from, mainland Europe; and international trade and exploration, both fair and exploitative. Julian Baggini

One winter, I went to Erfoud to research trilobites and got to know the quarries, the dealers, and the remote mining villages. They are not easy places to visit, and this was a completely unknown corner of the world economy: children slaving away on desert cliffs to furnish wealthy collectors in San Francisco. Lawrence Osborne

It took five days to drive to Los Angeles by myself. I listened to Abbey Road for six hours at a time and watched the desert open up before me again and again. I saw the sun set and rise at the Grand Canyon, and I sang out over the cliffs, picked up tumble weeds along the way and threw them in the back of my car. Madi Diaz

We are accustomed in England to chalk in rolling downs, except where bitten into by the sea, but elsewhere it is riven and presents cliffs, and these cliffs are not at all like that of Shakespeare at Dover but overhang, where hard beds alternate with others that are friable. Sabine Baring-Gould

Others Elsewhere Bitten Shakespeare Except Like Alternate Cliffs Beds Rolling Accustomed Where Sea Hard Dover England Downs Chalk Presents

My favourite pool is located in a remote valley in the eastern Lake District, surrounded by vine-hung cliffs and slippery boulders. It has a torrential sheet waterfall at one end and is almost black in colour, so it appears bottomless, a portal to nowhere. Sarah Hall

You want to get to the top of the cliff. But that's not what you focus on immediately. You focus on the next ledge just beyond your reach, because you need to do one clever thing to get up there. And then, once you get there, you do it again. A lot of this is rather boring and not very glamorous. But you can't jump cliffs in a single bound. Terence Tao

You Focus Clever Single Once Top Immediately Boring Rather Glamorous Bound Reach Beyond Because Cliff Cliffs Lot Up Jump Very Get Just Want Again Then Next Your There And Then Thing Need

Alexandre Antoine Davy de la Pailleterie - father of the future Alex Dumas - was born on February 26, 1714, in the Norman province of Caux, a region of rolling dairy farms that hung above great chalk cliffs on the northwest coast of France. Tom Reiss

BASE jumping is skydiving from fixed objects, like buildings, antennae, bridges and earth - meaning mountains, cliffs. It's for sure - for me - it's the ultimate feeling of being in free fall, with all the visual references. Ueli Gegenschatz
