"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return"

The higher we soar, the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly. - Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

A soul in tension that's learning to fly, Condition grounded, but determined to try, Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky, Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I... ... Across the clouds I see my shadow fly, Out of the corner of my watering eye... ... There's no sensation to compare with this, Suspended animation, a state of bliss... -Pink Floyd, Learning to Fly

When we walk to the edge of all the light we have and take the step into the darkness of the unknown, we must believe that one of two things will happen : there will be something solid for us to stand on, or we will learn to fly. - Patrick Overton

Harmony comes gradually to a pilot and his plane. The wing does not want so much to fly true as to tug at the hands that guide it; the ship would rather hunt the wind than lay her nose to the horizon far ahead. She has a derelict quality in her character; she toys with freedom and hints at liberation, but yields her own desires gently. - Beryl Markham

"More than anything else the sensation is one of perfect peace mingled with an excitement that strains every nerve to the utmost, if you can conceive of such a combination" - Wilbur Wright

Real flight and dreams of flight go together. Both are part of the same movement. Not A before B, but all together. - Thomas Pynchon

No one can realize how substantial the air is, until he feels its supporting power beneath him. It inspires confidence at once. - Otto Lilienthal

"I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things." - Antoine de St-Exupery

To fly! to live as airmen live! Like them to ride the skyways from horizon to horizon, across rivers and forests! To free oneself from the petty disputes of everyday life, to be active, to feel the blood renewed in one's vein ? ah! that is life... Life is finer and simpler. My will is freer. I appreciate everything more, sunlight and shade, work and my friends. The sky is vast. I breathe deep gulps of the fine clear air of the heights. I feel myself to have achieved a higher state of physical strength and a clearer brain. I am living in the third dimension! - Henri Mignot

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 Langewische

Science, freedom, beauty, adventure: What more could you ask of life? - Charles Lindbergh

Flying is a lot like playing a musical instrument; you're doing so many things and thinking of so many other things, all at the same time. It becomes a spiritual experience. Something wonderful happens in the pit of your stomach. - Dusty McTavish

In our dreams we are able to fly ... and that is a remembering of how we were meant to be. - Madeleine L'Engle

"you can't be lost if you don't care where you are. "

No bird soars too high, If he soars with his own wings. - William Blake
