Famous quotes containing the word flights:

    “It is true that writers often owe their most inspired thoughts, their most extraordinary phrases, to their generous typesetters, who assist their flights of fancy with so-called typographical errors.”
    —E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)

    “Franklin said once in one of his inspired flights of malignity—
    Early to bed and early to rise
    Make a man healthy and wealth and wise.
    As if it were any object to a boy to be healthy and wealthy and wise on such terms.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
