No one can realize how substantial the air is, until he feels its supporting power beneath him. It inspires confidence at once.
Otto Lilienthal
There is an art to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
Douglas Adams
Flying can be easy at times, but with the wrong machine or the wrong person at the controls, it is the most difficult thing in the world.
Paul Gallagher
Flying without feathers is not easy; my wings have no feathers.
Titus Maccius Plautus

Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.
Henry David Thoreau
The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who, in their grueling travels across trackless lands in prehistoric times, looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space, at full speed, above all obstacles, on the infinite highway of the air.
Wilbur Wright

Flying is awful, there's nothing to do when you're up in the air. I bloat up, my skin gets dry, and when we hit turbulence, I'm terrified.
Daniela Pestova
Flying is the only active profession I would ever continue with enthusiasm after the War.
Wilfred Owen
The Brick House was one of the toughest joints I ever played in ... Guys would drink and fight one another like circle saws. Bottles would come flying over the bandstand like crazy and there was lots of plain common shooting and cutting. But somehow all that jive didn't faze me at all. I was so happy to have some place to blow my horn.
Louis Armstrong
Yall know they had the ODB locked down, right? Well, Im here to tell you that they cant keep me down. Now Im free, and Im out there like a bird flying around, so yall better leave some birdseed on your windowsills, because I may be flying by your house"
Russell Jones
On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays we use the wave theory; on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays we think in streams of flying energy quanta or corpuscles.
Sir William Henry Bragg
