Long Flights

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or flights:

“The long time to come when I shall not exist has more effect on me than this short present time, which nevertheless seems endless.”

Puffing as you climb, you are a brown woodcut
stooped over the thin rail and the wornout tread.”
