- Sir Walter Alexander Raleigh99◆ The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply that they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings.

- Antoine De Saint-Exupery99◆ The soaring pilot makes an aerial excursion, not an incursion. His passage leaves a whisper, not a shriek.
- Richard Miller99◆ By day, or on a cloudless night, a pilot may drink the wine of the gods, but it has an earthly taste; he's a god of the earth, like one of the Grecian deities who lives on worldly mountains and descended for intercourse with men. But at night, over a stratus layer, all sense of the planet may disappear. You know that down below, beneath that heavenly blanket is the earth, factual and hard. But it's an intellectual knowledge; it's a knowledge tucked away in the mind; not a feeling that penetrates the body.

An airplane stands for freedom, for joy, for the power to understand, and to demonstrate that understanding. Those things aren't destructable.
- Richard Bach99◆ The fascination of flight can't be expressed with words. But it really lies beyond the capabilities of human endeavor. Once you've experienced it, you'll never be able to forget it.

- Oliver Gillham99
