Famous quotes containing the words flight, attendant and/or call:
“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)
“Every human being has, like Socrates, an attendant spirit; and wise are they who obey its signals. If it does not always tell us what to do, it always cautions us what not to do.”
—Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
“Thatcher: You’re too old to call me “Mr. Thatcher,” Charles.
Charles Foster Kane: You’re too old to be called anything else. You were always too old.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1985)
