As we take, in fact, a general view of the wonderful stream of our consciousness, what strikes us first is this different pace of its parts. Like a bird 's life, it seems to be made of an alternation of flights and perchings.
William James
Image
When you fly high people will throw stones at you. Don't look down. Just fly higher so the stones won't reach you
Chetan Bhagat
Image
The heart is long, very long in receiving the convictions that is forced upon it by reason... affection still lingers in the Bosom, even after esteem has taken its flight.
Abigail Adams
Image
Death is like an arrow that is already in flight, and your life lasts only until it reaches you.
Georg Hermes

Call me names, dearest! Call me thy bird That flies to thy breast at one cherishing word, That folds its wild wings there, ne'er dreaming of flight, That tenderly sings there in loving delight! Oh! my sad heart keeps pining for one fond word,-- Call me pet names, dearest! Call me thy bird!

The planes are crowded and noisy and late, and everybody hates everybody. If armed terrorists had tried to hijack any of the flights I've been on lately, we passengers would have swiftly beaten them to death with those hard rolls you get with your in-flight meals.

Britannia's shame! There took her gloomy flight, On wing impetuous, a black sullen soul . Less base the fear of death than fear of life. O Britain! infamous for suicide.

Men do weird things when they experience fear. It's like a fight or flight thing.

I've learned I'm rarely able to stay at home and not work. If I try to 'just sit on my couch for a little while,' I am going to grab my laptop and just knock out a few more emails, or start sketching up some product ideas for TheMuse.com. So when I want time off, I schedule dinners out, movie outings, and on occasion a flight lesson from Groupon.

Of all the inventions that have helped to unify China perhaps the airplane is the most outstanding. Its ability to annihilate distance has been in direct proportion to its achievements in assisting to annihilate suspicion and misunderstanding among provincial officials far removed from one another or from the officials at the seat of government.

Why does every flight attendant seem like they are going through a divorce?
Natasha Leggero

The person who screams, or uses the superlative degree, or converses with heat puts whole drawing-rooms to flight. If you wish to be loved, love measure.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

With the possible exception of having more pleasing lines to the eye while in flight, the monoplane possesses no material advantage over the biplane.
Glenn Curtiss
Image
All the calculations show it can't work. There's only one thing to do: make it work.
Pierre-Georges Latecoere

You haven't seen a tree until you've seen its shadow from the sky.
Amelia Earhart

That is where homeland is. In that shifting space, kinfolk know one another by secret signs and wherever kinfolk meet, homeland soil coalesces about their feet in the mysterious way that coral cays, like seabirds pausing in flight, anchor themselves to the Barrier Reef.

Oh how beautiful to fall to give you flight, to die to give you life, to rest under your sky and in your enchanted land forever sleep.
Jose Rizal

Some people are like Slinkies.They aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to my face when I push them down a flight of stairs.

I slather Egyptian Magic cream all over my face on overnight flights to keep my skin hydrated.

Trying to be Sherlock Holmes is like trying to catch an arrow in mid-flight.

For the first time I was flying by jet propulsion. No engine vibrations. No torque and no lashing sound of the propeller. Accompanied by a whistling sound, my jet shot through the air. Later when asked what it felt like, I said, It felt as though angels were pushing.
Adolf Galland
Image
Can I love someone...and still think/fly? Love is flying, sown, floating. Thought is solitary flight, beating wings.
Susan Sontag
Image
Photography today appears to be in a state of flight... The familiar is made strange, the unfamiliar grotesque. The amateur forces his Sundays into a series of unnatural poses.
