Birds were flying from continent to continent long before we were. They reached the coldest place on Earth, Antarctica, long before we did. They can survive in the hottest of deserts. Some can remain on the wing for years at a time. They can girdle the globe. Now, we have taken over the earth and the sea and the sky, but with skill and care and knowledge, we can ensure that there is still a place on Earth for birds in all their beauty and variety if we want to and surely, we should.
Sir David Frederick Attenborough
There's a plane flying over me and I'm looking forward to being able to relax and not worry about the weather or boat speed.
Ellen MacArthur
Every particle of every thing rocks, water, flour, human has been in the same place flaming in the heart of our ancient sun before the earth came flying out of it. The irises in your eyes the tissue of roses the slow giant rocks in mountainheads were all born flaming locked in the sun as it drifted like a light on dark water.
Lawrence Collins
Sleep is when all the unsorted stuff comes flying out as from a dustbin upset in a high wind.
William Golding
I think flying planes into a building was a faith-based initiative. I think religion is a neurological disorder.
Bill Maher
Flying. Whatever any other organism has been able to do man should surely be able to do also, though he may go a different way about it.
Samuel Butler
Aerodynamically, the bumble bee shouldn't be able to fly, but the bumble bee doesn't know it so it goes on flying anyway.
Mary Kay Ash
There is no great sport in having bullets flying about one in every direction, but I find they have less horror when among them than when in anticipation.
Umberto Eco
Old age is like a plane flying through a storm. Once you're aboard, there's nothing you can do. You can't stop the plane, you can't stop the storm, you can't stop time. So one might as well accept it calmly, wisely.
Golda Meir 1898
Sometimes we are like an angel with one wing, and we necessarily need the other wing of a similar angel to keep flying.
M. K. Soni
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, old time is still a-flying: And this same flower that smiles today tomorrow will be a dying.
Robert Herrick
It was absolutely a routine flight for a routine activity. The weather was fit for flying,
Ahmed Khan
You will begin to touch heaven, Jonathan, in the moment that you touch perfect speed. And that isn't flying a thousand miles an hour, or a million, or flying at the speed of light. Because any number is a limit, and perfection doesn't have limits. Perfect speed, my son, is being there.
