At school I pretended I had a normal life, but I felt lonely all the time and different from everyone else. I never felt like I fit in, and I wasn't allowed to participate in after-school activities, go to sports events or parties or date boys. Many times I had to make up stories about why I couldn't do anything with my classmates.

We're not doing outrageous fashion; I make sports clothes that are relatively conservative, clothes that everyone wears.

I felt so free in space, flying around and unrestrained by any social relationships, but my life since has changed a lot. Now I am extra-careful about what I say and do because everyone recognises me.

Whether by my own volition or otherwise, I was given a year-and-a-half break after Dad passed. It was kind of like an elephant in the room, and everyone was giving me space, whether I wanted it or not.

I was the kind of poor where I knew right away I had less than everyone around me. Our environment, our physical space reflected our income.

Google Earth is an incredible resource because from hundreds of miles in space, we can zoom in, and we can find things. Everyone always looks for their house first. That is the tip of the iceberg with remote sensing.

My parents grew up during the space race, and I think they imagined the future would be us living on moon bases and everyone has rocket shoes.

The Learning Hub is a collection of handmade concrete towers surrounding a central space that brings everyone together, interspersed with nooks, balconies and gardens for informal collaborative learning.

Not everyone is lucky enough to be given space and trust.

The London police have discovered that the best way to neuter demonstrations is not to move everyone on, or disperse troublemakers, but hold them close, cordon them into a diminishing space for hours and hours, as a sort of arbitrary al fresco arrest.

No one goes on a direct path, even though it sometimes feels like your peers might be racing ahead. Everyone's trying to figure it out. But if you just put yourself out there, step out of your comfort zone, establish yourself in terms of skills, mentorship, but leave space for your passions, then you're going to turn out pretty well.

The world itself looks cleaner and so much more beautiful. Maybe we can make it that way - the way God intended it to be - by giving everyone, eventually, that new perspective from out in space.

Building one space station for everyone was and is insane: we should have built a dozen.

One thing I probably share with everyone else in the astronaut office is composure.

In some ways, modern life has made us unkind. That unkindness has profound personal effects. And if we can build a kinder society, that would make life better for everyone.

Arguments are extremely vulgar, for everyone in good society holds exactly the same opinion.

The first thing to improve society is not banning abortion, but making sure that everyone who had a child is in the best position to be able to rear it.

If more people follow their superpowers - and everyone has one - then we're going to be better as a society.

More Than' means refusing to define yourself according to what society dictates, or everyone around you thinks you should do or be.

Somehow our society has formed a one-sided view of the human personality, and for some reason everyone understood giftedness and talent only as it applied to the intellect. But it is possible not only to be talented in one's thoughts but also to be talented in one's feelings as well.

Everyone in society should be a role model, not only for their own self-respect, but for respect from others.

A gender-equal society would be one where the word 'gender' does not exist: where everyone can be themselves.

Society is based on the assumption that everyone is alike and no one is alive.

We were expected to smile and be flirty to everyone. But we acted more like a male rock band. We never mastered the niceties. We were more interested in having a good time.
