Flight Quotes

Thomas Moore quote: "Flight usually intensifies the very thing one flees and..."
Flight usually intensifies the very thing one flees and establishes a special intimacy with it. Thomas Moore
Suzanne Collins quote: "Flight is essential, but I can't let my fear show."
Flight is essential, but I can't let my fear show. Suzanne Collins
Simon Newcomb quote: "Flight by machines heavier than air is unpractical and..."
Flight by machines heavier than air is unpractical and insignificant, if not utterly impossible. Simon Newcomb
I try to tell the people that are sort of new here when they come in and do their flights and whatever, the things that you remember most after your flights are the interactions you've had with your crew. Those are the most satisfying things you take away from a flight. Shannon Lucid
Wislawa Szymborska quote: "Woods disguised as woods alive without end, and above them..."
Woods disguised as woods alive without end, and above them birds in flight play birds in flight. Wislawa Szymborska
This yearning for new and distant scenes, this craving for freedom, release, forgetfulness -- they were he admitted to himself, an impulse towards flight, flight from the spot which was the daily theatre of a rigid, cold, and passionate service. Thomas Mann
Someone has to do it. It's all very well calling for eye of newt, but do you mean Common, Spotted or Great Crested? Which eye, anyway? Will tapioca do just as well? If we substitute egg white will the spell a) work b) fail or c) melt the bottom out of the cauldron? Goodie Whemper's curiosity about such things was huge and insatiable*.* Nearly insatiable. It was probably satiated in her last flight to test whether a broomstick could survive having its bristles pulled out one by one in mid-air.... Terry Prachett
Pleasure always means not to think about anything, to forget suffering even where it is shown. Basically it is helplessness. It is flight; not, as is asserted, flight from a wretched reality, but from the last remaining thought of resistance. Theodor Adorno
Umberto Guidoni quote: "And the first flight of the tether satellite happened in '92,..."
And the first flight of the tether satellite happened in '92, and I was the backup on that flight. Umberto Guidoni
We have lost one shuttle for every 57 flights and that is not a good ratio. I do believe we need to continue space flights, but maybe we can follow the example of the Russians and use unmanned vehicles to transport hardware into space. Lincoln Davis
And so we try to address those concerns in every way possible, recognizing, again, in the final analysis, everybody on that flight wants to be assured with the highest level of confidence that everybody else on that flight has been properly screened, and including me and you and everybody. John Pistole
With all the knowledge and skill acquired in thousands of flights in the last ten years, I would hardly think today of making my first flight on a strange machine in a twenty-seven mile wind, even if I knew that the machine had already been flown and was safe. Orville Wright
Most people are flying to Heathrow because it's a hub, so they can fly on to other places, often long-distance flights. If they can't go on those long-distance flights from Heathrow, they will go to Paris, they will go to Amsterdam, they will go to Frankfurt, because those are viable alternatives. Geoff Hoon
It's, I mean, for me, it's the same as training with my crewmembers. We share the same first part of the flight. We all go together. It's the most critical part of the flight, the ascent. Philippe Perrin
Robert Crippen quote: "Having the opportunity to fly the first flight of something..."
Having the opportunity to fly the first flight of something like a space shuttle was the ultimate test flight. Robert Crippen
