Thor Heyerdahl

"Every now and then you find yourself in a strange situation. You drift into it slowly and naturally, but when you're in the middle of it, you're suddenly amazed and wonder how the hell it all happened."

"Once in a while you find yourself in an odd situation. You get into it by degrees and in the most natural way but, when you are right in the midst of it, you are suddenly astonished and ask yourself how in the world it all came about."

"Progress is man's ability to make what is simple complex."
