Island Macarthur Airport

Famous quotes containing the words island, macarthur and/or airport:

    “The island dreams under the dawn
    And great boughs drop tranquillity;
    The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
    A parrot sways upon a tree,
    Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “We have had our last chance. If we do not devise some greater and more equitable system, Armageddon will be at our door.”
    —Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)

    “Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
    —Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
