People From Los Angeles

"When you live life like an adventure — like Amelia did — it makes everything very exciting. It makes me feel proud. A lot of that comes down to your willingness to put in the effort and hard work."

"the whole reason she does what she does is to propel the future of women who will fly tomorrow’s airplanes," the younger Amelia Earhart said. "That’s me. I’m flying tomorrow’s planes.”"

"We committed last year to really integrating social media into this flight," Amelia Rose said. "We are going to remote parts of the world. You will be seeing tweets from us at 30,000 feet. You haven't seen that with around the world flights.""

"9 years ago today, I finished a flight around the world in a single engine airplane. Today, I’m thrilled to release the book about that very flight. It’s been a long time coming, and it’s my sincere hope you connect with the stories and ideas I’ve shared within it in a meaningful way,” she posted on Instagram. “The book is available on Amazon and I’ve linked to it in my bio. Blue skies and thank you ALL for your support and encouragement through the years as I’ve worked toward this huge goal!”"

"Maybe their family says it's not a safe option," she said. "But it's about becoming a safe operator of your machine no matter what your adventure is — even if you were trying to be a doctor."

"The biggest challenge for me was paying for it. I wanted to eliminate the cost and find girls who are really passionate. Flying is a huge amount of responsibility. You have to be organized and work well with others and in confined spaces. It's not just about flying it's about being a well-rounded person with an adventurous side."

"In the last 24 hours, new information from a team of researchers that I hired shows that while I share a name and a passion for flying with Amelia Earhart, we are not from the same family," said Rose Earhart. "While my family and Amelia's did settle in nearby counties in the same state, the only thing we shared was our last name.”"

"“wanted me to have a name nobody would forget.”"

"There hasn't been a day in my life that somebody hasn't said something to me about Amelia Earhart. It's a daily connection,”"

"I had a team of close to twenty-five people that I worked with on a daily basis to help me troubleshoot as we went, but no one was going to step in and do the work for me. Over the course of the two years leading up to the flight, I exchanged over sixteen thousand emails about flight logistics."

"When I decided to re-create Amelia's flight around the world, it became clear that it was time to establish the exact connection between the two of us. So I hired a team of expert genealogists to finally establish the link," she says. "So my connection to Amelia isn't what I thought it was. And I'll admit, the last 24 hours, they've been really hard. It's tough to hear that something you've believed your whole life just isn't true.""

"“People would always ask, 'Are you a pilot? Are you a pilot?'""

"As a woman named Amelia Earhart I have a unique opportunity to take.""

"Unfortunately, the number of pilots that are women are low," Amelia Rose said. "It's around 6 percent. There was an influx of women becoming pilots, but we really have seen it taper off."

"The aircraft was old, filthy, smelled like a dusty old farm truck, and instilled zero confidence in its ability to keep my instructor and I safely in the sky. My instructor was the human version of this aircraft. Crotchety, grumpy, smelled of stale cigarette smoke was NOT impressed that my name was Amelia Earhart. I remember feeling very out of place at the airport, clueless, awkward, in the way. We did a pre-flight inspection on the plane, my instructor helped me buckle myself into the left seat of the Cessna 172 and we were off."

"I knew I was about to see, with my very own eyes, the one piece of land that Amelia and her navigator Fred Noonan wanted to see with every part of their being."

"We're ready to go," Earhart said early Thursday morning. "I was destined to do this.""

"Even if you are with a group of adults in their 50s and a child, we all get that overall look on our faces,"

""In the last 24 hours, new information from a team of researchers that I hired shows that while I share a name and a passion for flying with Amelia Earhart, we are not from the same family," says Earhart, a news traffic reporter for the NBC affiliate in Denver, Gannett-owned KUSA 9News. Gannett also owns USA TODAY."

"Learn to Love the Turbulence.”"

"Everyone has ocean’s to fly, if they have the heart to do it. Is it reckless? Maybe. But what do dreams know of boundaries?”"

"Adventure is worthwhile in itself,' she told USA Today. 'Whatever your version of flying is - it could be starting a business, it could be something entrepreneurial - we want to encourage people to pursue their own adventure.""

"In every successful flight,” she said, “you want to open a flight plan and close a flight plan. Amelia never had the chance to close hers, and I want to do that for her.”"

"It’s a lot like packing snacks for a road trip,” she said. “A lot of granola, stuff that’s high in protein. Also, Sour Patch Kids,” she admitted. “Some of these stretches of time in the air are loooooong,” she said. “One will be about nine hours.”"

"“Luckily our iPhones will be working at certain altitudes,"

"The feeling I have when I get up there in the airplane is unlike anything else,""

"They're all about turbulence," she said. "As pilots, we know that turbulence is one of many sky conditions. We agree to the chance of turbulence when we take off to go up in flight ... I think if we take a pilot's perspective on how to navigate it, it can help out a lot."

"We are a Colorado based, non-profit organization that has awarded funds to close to twenty young women so far and will continue to grow, becoming a resource of scholarships, aviation resources, aerospace opportunity, and inspiration for girls who want to fly."

"I want my legacy to evoke an emotion of curious adventure, childishly peer into the night sky, and falling deeply in love, over and over again with the beauty of the star-splattered front seat views. I want to challenge the idea that we are bound to the Earth. I want to live by example, being the author of my life-long ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ book."

"Discovering who I’m not has led me to fully and finally understand who I really am,”. “In the last 24 hours new information from a team of researchers that I hired shows that while I share a name and a passion for flying with the first Amelia Earhart we’re not from the same family. And while I am her namesake, nothing in life is ever really as simple as we want it to be.”"

"Blue skies and thank you all for your support and encouragement through the years as I’ve worked toward this huge goal!""

"While the news was a jolt, it DOES NOT change my commitment to the the flight or to the mission of The Fly With Amelia Foundation, which is to enable young girls to pursue their dreams of flight,""

""While we recognize people are still struggling and the last two years haven't been easy, commencement is a reminder of the bright future awaiting the Class of 2022," says Megan O'Reilly Palevich, M.Ed, head of Laurel Springs School. "Remember what you've learned in your time at Laurel Springs, celebrate what you've accomplished, and always cherish the relationships birthed here. Let the lessons you learned inside our virtual walls help you set your ambitions and drive your life forward toward them."

"The flexible education experience at Laurel Springs is a great opportunity for these students and I love how they can pursue their passions while receiving a top-flight education," Earhart said. "I can't wait to share my story with these passionate students and encourage them to continue following their dreams.""

"While my family and Amelia's did settle in nearby counties in the same state, the only thing we shared was our last name,"

"Today, I’m thrilled to release the book about that very flight," Earhart said. "It’s been a long time coming, and it’s my sincere hope you connect with the stories and ideas I’ve shared within it in a meaningful way.""

"I am so thankful for all the encouragement and support I have received and I am really looking forward to sharing my recreation of Amelia's flight around the world with all of you.""

"“I came to it later for reasons that were mostly financial,” she said. “I worked other jobs, I worked at golf courses, I waitressed."

"Adventure is worthwhile in itself," "I think there's a new focus on adventure that we've only seen in the last five to 10 years. But whatever your version of flying is – it could be starting a business, it could be something entrepreneurial – we want to encourage people to pursue their own adventure.""

"Subsidiarity is one of our traditional Catholic social principles. The idea is that the responsibility be carried out at the lowest level possible. But that principle does not excuse those in higher positions from taking care of their responsibilities. You cannot use the principle of subsidiarity to say that government does not have a responsibility to those in need."

"I just couldn’t stop. It was compulsive. I started playing it and kept playing. I had a baby at the time, [who] was eight-months old; I totally ignored him. I didn’t want to be bothered. I didn’t want to stop and make dinner."

"Programmers, authors are going to be the future new entertainers ... It might be presumptuous to say they might be new Robert Redfords ... but to a certain extent [they will be] idolized. Tomorrow's heroes."

"If I could only pick one game, I would pick Phantasmagoria, as I enjoyed working on it immensely and it was so very challenging (and I love to be challenged!). However, in my heart, I will always love the King's Quest series and, especially, King's Quest, I since it was the game that really 'made' Sierra On-Line."

"I would like to thank Bangladesh for providing shelters to thousands of Rohingyas. I want to reiterate that if Myanmar government is reluctant to establish good governance to save its Rohingya community, if they do not want to provide security to the Rohingya people living at the northern parts of Rakhine state or unable to do so then the Rohingya majority area of the State should incorporate with Bangladesh. And US should support to annex Rakhine to Bangladesh that is also a demand for the people of the area. Rohingyas want to stay with such a government who will work cordially to save them instead of killing."

"The crypto bros are spending tens of millions in Washington to make sure this industry is regulated as lightly as possible, ... There are no lobbyists or PACs dedicated to preventing tax evasion, sanctions evasion, and the other forms of illicit finance that cryptocurrency enables,"

"Known of the respectability on the part of everyone. I've always been called the villain of reality because unfortunately I'm one of the few real ones. When I think of something, I expose it, regardless of whether it may later please the public."

"After a sentimental burn I had decided to participate but without wanting to tie myself to anyone. As then happened to me with Jeremias, you never know what awaits us."

"My dream is to lead. I speak fluent Italian, English and Spanish and I am studying Russian. From the point of view of the feelings and the path, I was burned because I went out there with a person who was not interested in me. I would be afraid of relapsing again. I don't know if I would be able to trust another person again but above all I would no longer want to have a television relationship."

"I was not overly enthusiastic about appearing in court. The goal of both the courts and science is to discover the truth, but the methods of the two are so different that it is difficult for most scientists to enter the legal arena with any degree of confidence. Finally, there was a natural reluctance, common to most scientists, to spend any time dealing with nonsense; the tenets of “scientific” creationism are so absurd that it seems most appropriate simply to ignore them."

"The creationist “scientific” arguments for a young Earth are absurd, I and other authors have dealt with them at length elsewhere, and they do not merit further attention here."
