Air Lines Flight

Famous quotes containing the words air, lines and/or flight:

    Mothers of America
    let your kids go to the movies!
    get them out of the house so they won’t know what you’re up to
    it’s true that fresh air is good for the body
    but what about the soul
    that grows in darkness, embossed by silvery images
    Frank O’Hara (1926–1966)

    There is something to be said for government by a great aristocracy which has furnished leaders to the nation in peace and war for generations; even a Democrat like myself must admit this. But there is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy, for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with the “money touch,” but with ideals which in their essence are merely those of so many glorified pawnbrokers.
    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)

    Its shrill scream seems yet to linger in its throat, and the roar of the sea in its wings. There is the tyranny of Jove in its claws, and his wrath in the erectile feathers of the head and neck. It reminds me of the Argonautic expedition, and would inspire the dullest to take flight over Parnassus.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
