flying quotes by JOSE MARIA VELASCO IBARRA-1505568896

flying quotes by K.O. ECKLAND-1505469869
Within all of us is a varying amount of space lint and star dust, the residue from our creation. Most are too busy to notice it, and it is stronger in some than others. It is strongest in those of us who fly and is responsible for an unconscious, subtle desire to slip into some wings and try for the elusive boundaries of our origin.
flying quotes by TITUS MACCIUS PLAUTUS-1505468589
Flying without feathers is not easy; my wings have no feathers.
flying quotes by ALEXANDER CHASE-1505409388
Lovers of air travel find it exhilarating to hang poised between the illusion of immortality and the fact of death.
flying quotes by WILLIAM T. PIPER-1505408137
Once you have learned to fly your plane, it is far less fatiguing to fly than it is to drive a car. You don't have to watch every second for cats, dogs, children, lights, road signs, ladies with baby carriages and citizens who drive out in the middle of the block against the lights.... Nobody who has not been up in the sky on a glorious morning can possibly imagine the way a pilot feels in free heaven.
flying quotes by WENDELL WILLKIE-1505406807
The modern airplane creates a new geographical dimension. A navigable ocean of air blankets the whole surface of the globe. There are no distant places any longer: the world is small and the world is one.
flying quotes by WILBUR WRIGHT-1505401885
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.
flying quotes by JAMES DICKEY-1505368211
Flight is the only truly new sensation than men have achieved in modern history.
flying quotes by GIL STERN-1505361731
Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute.
flying quotes by ORSON WELLES-1505319046
There are only two emotions in a plane: boredom and terror.
flying quotes by DOUGLAS ADAMS-1505297870
There is an art, or rather a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
flying quotes by AMELIA EARHART-1505296139
You haven't seen a tree until you've seen its shadow from the sky.
flying quotes by MARK TWAIN-1505294478
The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. And why shouldn't it be? - it is the same the angels breathe.
flying quotes by ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPERY-1505284321
I fly because it releases my mind from the tyranny of petty things.
flowers quotes by VARIATION OF A SAYING BY JACQUES DEVAL (-1505242701
God loved the flowers and invented soil. Man loved the flowers and invented vases.
flowers quotes by LYDIA M. CHILD-1505240920
Flowers have spoken to me more than I can tell in written words. They are the hieroglyphics of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of their character, though few can decipher even fragments of their meaning.
flowers quotes by THE COLLECTED LATER POEMS OF WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS-1505239210
A profusion of pink roses bending ragged in the rain speaks to me of all gentleness and its enduring.
flowers quotes by OCTAVE MIRBEAU-1505237528
Being perfect artists and ingenuous poets, the Chinese have piously preserved the love and holy cult of flowers; one of the very rare and most ancient traditions which has survived their decadence. And since flowers had to be distinguished from each other, they have attributed graceful analogies to them, dreamy images, pure and passionate names which perpetuate and harmonize in our minds the sensations of gentle charm and violent intoxication with which they inspire us. So it is that certain peonies, their favorite flower, are saluted by the Chinese, according to their form or color, by these delicious names, each an entire poem and an entire novel: The Young Girl Who Offers Her Breasts, or: The Water That Sleeps Beneath the Moon, or: The Sunlight in the Forest, or: The First Desire of the Reclining Virgin, or: My Gown Is No Longer All White Because in Tearing It the Son of Heaven Left a Little Rosy Stain; or, even better, this one: I Possessed My Lover in the Garden.
flowers quotes by MAURICE MAETERLINCK-1505234786
Can we conceive what humanity would be if it did not know the flowers?
flowers quotes by GERTRUDE S. WISTER-1505208225
The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in our hearts well out of proportion to their size.
flowers quotes by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH-1505145844
I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
flowers quotes by ANDREW MASON-1505144643
If dandelions were hard to grow, they would be most welcome on any lawn.
flowers quotes by THE KORAN-1505113990
Bread feeds the body, indeed, but flowers feed also the soul.
flowers quotes by CONRAD AIKEN-1505109296
With daffodils mad footnotes for the spring,And asters purple asterisks for autumn -
