I ask people who don't fly, How can you not fly when you live in a time in history when you can fly?
William Langewiesche
Image
What can you conceive more silly and extravagant than to suppose a man racking his brains, and studying night and day how to fly?
William Law
Image
Everyone asks me 'how it feels to fly.' It feels like riding in a high powered automobile, minus bumping over the rough roads, continually signaling to clear the way and keeping a watchful on the speedometer to see that you do not exceed the speed limit and provoke the wrath of the bicycle policeman or the covetous constable.
Harriet Quimby
Image
I spent about seven years during the Vietnam War flight-testing airplanes for the Air Force. And then I went in and I had a lot of fun building airplanes that people could build in their garages. And some 3,000 of those are flying. Of course, one of them is around-the-world Voyager.
Burt Rutan
Image
Pilots are a rare kind of human. They leave the ordinary surface of the word, to purify their soul in the sky, and they come down to earth, only after receiving the communion of the infinite.
Jose Maria Velasco Ibarra
Image
So there he is at last. Man on the moon. The poor magnificent bungler! He can't even get to the office without undergoing the agonies of the damned, but give him a little metal, a few chemicals, some wire and twenty or thirty billion dollars and vroom! there he is, up on a rock a quarter of a million miles up in the sky.
Russell Baker
Image
There's no question that all the generations got excited about the first flights, with Kennedy's inspiration to go to the moon, leaving the planet for the first time, and fortunately coming back.
Alan Shepard
Image
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!
William Shakespeare
Image
Love in my heart is a cry forever Lost as the swallow's flight, Seeking for you and never, never Stilled by the stars at night
Sara Teasdale
Image
Ignorance is the curse of God knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.
William Shakespeare
Image
But flies an eagle flight, bold and forth on, Leaving no tract behind.
William Shakespeare
Image
I tell you what I really fear. I fear aeroplanes. When the flight's all right and smooth I'm still thinking, 'what if the engine blow up?' 'What if a fool's got a bomb on it?'
Muhammad Ali
Image
I feel like an aeroplane at the end of its flight, in the dusk, with the petrol running out, in search of a safe landing.
Winston Churchill
Image
The misconception of totalitarianism is that freedom can be imprisoned. This is not the case. When you constrain freedom, freedom will take flight and land on a windowsill.
Ai Weiwei
Image
I must place on record my regret that the human race ever learned to fly.
Winston Churchill
Image
Sometimes I watch myself fly. For in the history of human flight it is not yet so very late and a man may still wonder once in a while and ask: how is it that I, poor earth-habitituated animal, can fly?
Wolfgang Langewiesche
Image
And from, you know, small ideas, bigger ideas emerge. So we're starting with suborbital space flights and we'll then go into orbital space flights and, you know, maybe one day we'll send people on a one-way voyage into the depths of space as per the science fiction trips.
Richard Branson
Image
Flying is more than a sport and more than a job flying is pure passion and desire, which fill a lifetime.
Adolf Galland
Image
[The purpose of flight research] is to separate the real from the imagined problems and to make known the overlooked and the unexpected.
Hugh Latimer Dryden
Image
Before the current decade ends, fee-paying passengers will be experiencing suborbital flights aboard privately funded vehicles. . . . It won't be too long before bright young men and women set their eyes on careers in Earth orbit and say: I want to work 200 kilometers from home-straight up!
Arthur C. Clarke
Image
Nothing will stop us. The road to the stars is steep and dangerous. But we're not afraid . . . Space flights can't be stopped. This isn't the work of one man or even a group of men. It is a historical process which mankind is carrying out in accordance with the natural laws of human development.
Yuri Gagarin
Image
I showed it is possible to fly a little bit like a bird.
Yves Rossy
Image
It is true that writers often owe their most inspired thoughts, their most extraordinary phrases, to their generous typesetters, who assist their flights of fancy with so-called typographical errors.
E. T. A. Hoffmann
Image
I cannot imagine anyone looking at the sky and denying God.
Abraham Lincoln
