The important thing in aeroplanes is that they shall be speedy.
Manfred von Richthofen
Image
Although I know a lot of the previous shuttle flights, in theory, had their tasks laid out but there were still some changes that came along for them.
Linda M. Godwin
Image
The hawk is aerial brother of the wave which he sails over and surveys, those his perfect air-inflated wings answering to the elemental unfledged pinions of the sea.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Nostalgia! I feel it even for someone who meant nothing to me, out of anxiety for the flight of time and a sickness bred of the mystery of life. If one of the faces I pass daily on the streets disappears, I feel sad yet they meant nothing to me, other than being a symbol of all life.
Fernando Pessoa
Image
I saw at once that I had only to rise in my machine, fix my eyes upon the castle, fly over it and speed directly across to the French coast. It seemed so easy that it looked like a cross-country flight. I am glad I thought so and felt so.
Harriet Quimby
Image
Wings are freedom only when they are wide open in flight. On one's back they are a heavy weight.
Marina Tsvetaeva
Image
The pitch would normally be low, but my ball starts carrying and stays on a sustained plane. Everyone always complains - 'that ball is low' - but then you go back and look at the tape, and it's right there. My catchers tell me, and the hitters tell me, that the ball stays true flight the last five or six feet.
Roy Oswalt
Image
As Christian feel the changing winds of political climate, the blasts against their values in the media, the exclusion of the Christian faith from educational institutions, they begin to sense the dangers of complacency and of pietistical world flight.
Edmund Clowney
Image
To say that my anxiety is reducible to the ions in my amygdala is as limiting as saying that my personality or my soul is reducible to the molecules that make up my brain cells or to the genes that underwrote them.
Scott Stossel
Image
Theres something just magical about flight. Period.
Graham Hawkes
Image
The thought of flight has melted me, I am less solid than liquid, then I'm going up and going invisible like steam.
Elizabeth Knox
Image
When your hands leap towards mine, love, what do they bring me in flight?
Pablo Neruda
Image
The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.
Albert Einstein
Image
Construction of an aerial vehicle which can carry even a single man . . . requires the discovery of some new metal or force. Even with such a discovery, we could not expect one to do more than carry its owner.
Simon Newcomb
Image
the days, and the months, and the years, pass so swiftly, that I can no longer retain them. Time, in its flight, hurries me away, in spite of myself in vain I endeavor to stop him, he drags me along: the thought of this alarms me.
Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, marquise de Sevigne
Image
We battled in secret, undeclared, and after a while I no longer fought back because I never won. The only defense was flight, invisibility.
Margaret Atwood
Image
More hearts are breaking in this world of ours Than one would say. In distant villages And solitudes remote, where winds have wafted The barbed seeds of love, or birds of passage Scattered them in their flight, do they take root, And grow in silence, and in silence perish.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Image
If my devils are to leave me, I'm afraid my angels will take flight as well.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Image
Earthbound souls know only the underside of the atmosphere in which they live . . . but go higher - above the dust and water vapor - and the sky turns dark until one can see the stars at noon.
Jacqueline Cochran
Image
The flash of rain, the shining rainbow riding completely around the plane, the lift over mountain ridges, the steady, pure air at dawn take-offs. ... It was so alive and rich a life that any other conceivable choice seemed dull, prosaic, and humdrum.
Dean Smith
Image
The spirit of man is nomad, his blood bedouin, and love is the aboriginal tracker on the faded desert spoor of his lost self and so I came to live my life not by conscious plan or prearranged design but as someone following the flight of a bird.
Laurens van der Post
Image
Fight, flight, and screw up royaly.
Neal Shusterman
Image
How passionately we love everything that cannot last: the dazzling crystallory of winter, the spring in bloom, the fragile flight of butterflies, crimson sunsets, a kiss, and life.
Dean Koontz
Image
When I was a small boy I often went to the woods to lie on the grass in the shade. Somehow I had come to believe the earth could give me wisdom, but it did not. Yet I learned a little about animals and learned it is not always brave to make a stand. It is often foolish. There is a time for courage and a time for flight.
Louis L'Amour
