It is treacherous on a high wire to change your focus point and suddenly look down.
I have a fear of heights that borders on mania.
O, love, love, love! Love is like a dizziness; It winna let a poor body Gang about his biziness!
Anyone who can contemplate quantum mechanics without getting dizzy hasn't understood it.
I have vertigo. Vertigo makes it feel like the floor is pitching up and down. Things seem to be spinning. It's like standing on the deck of a ship in really high seas.
I never am sea sick, never. I am sea drunk!
I'm afraid one thing - I don't like heights. Heights bug me out. I'm not cool with heights. I refuse to do a comedy show 12 stories up. I'm fearless about everything else.
Go sit down and look pale.
Vertigo is the conflict between the fear of falling and the desire to fall.
As long as the world is turning and spinning, we're gonna be dizzy and we're gonna make mistakes.
I don't like rides. I take everything in life quite literally, and so I genuinely feel terrified on rides and liable to vomit at any moment, and I hate to vomit even more than I fear rides. So, all this to say, I don't have a favorite ride. I don't go on rides. Well, that's not true. A few years ago I had a beautiful, romantic moment on the Ferris wheel at Coney Island, known as the Wonder Wheel, and so I guess that's my favorite ride, though even that, to be frank, terrified me.
My thoughts are whirled like a potter's wheel; I know not where I am nor what I do.
Round and round we spin, with feet of lead and wings of tin.
Putting affects the nerves more than anything. I would actually get nauseated over three-footers.
And one of his partners asked Has he vertigo? and the other glanced out and down and said Oh no, only about ten feet more.
Fugazi, Fugazi. It's a wazy. It's a woozie. It's fairy dust.
But I have vertigo... I lose my equilibrium easily. I can lean out to look at something and just keep leaning and not realize I'm about to fall.
I'm officially middle-aged. I don't need drugs anymore, thank God. I can get the same effect just by standing up real fast.
I've got a weird balance problem as a human being, like I'm dizzy, and it's something to do with that.
Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.
I felt totally myself, nothing like the emptiness and horrible feeling I had then [pulling out the Olympics] - no dizziness.
... dizzy with the elevation to which the assassination [of Lincoln] has raised him.
Referring to President Andrew Johnson:
It says on the back of the Nyquil box, 'May cause drowsiness.' It should say, 'Don't make any plans, OK? Kiss your family and friends good-bye.'
When I first signed to RCA, I was sort of excited and shocked that it was happening. But over the next couple of years, it really started to feel like that game you play when you're a little kid - the one where you put your nose on a bat and then spin around and try to walk.
According to Festus, our flying table, Buford, made it back safely while we were in Charleston, so those eagles didn't get him. Unfortunately, he lost the laundry bag with your pants." "Dang it!" Frank Barked, which Leo figured was probably severe profanity for him. No doubt Frank would've cursed some more -busting out the golly gees and the gosh darns- but Percy interrupted by doubling over and groaning. "Did the world just turn upside down?" he asked. Jason pressed his hands to his head. "Yeah, and it's spinning. Everything is yellow. Is it supposed to be yellow?
