Air Flight

Famous quotes containing the words air and/or flight:

“Our air up here is good for the disease—I mean good against the disease,... but it is also good for the disease.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

“It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy’s edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create “one world.” Instead of one world, we have “star wars,” and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet’s dead.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
